I believe no discussion of region memory can proceed without
mentioning the following paper:

  author	= {Tofte, Mads and Birkedal, Lars and Elsman, Martin and Hallenberg, Niels},
  title		= {A Retrospective on Region-Based Memory Management},
  journal	= j_hosc,
  year		= 2004,
  volume	= 17,
  number	= 3,
  pages		= {245--265},

https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/A-Retrospective-on-Region-Based-Memory-Management-Tofte-Birkedal/0f091484790fc7a4807c3bf4d6019db63d1d4097

I have nothing more to say about this paper except that it is a must
read. See specifically ``Things we believe work well'' and ``Things
that have disappointed'' near the end of the paper.
