To standardize Boost.Pool

Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Boost.Pool provides an is_from() member function that does a simple
range checks of the heap memory pages and returns whether a pointer is
part of the pool or not.  This is a very useful function which I think
should be part of the standards because it could be used for the global
pool as well; i.e. the one used by operator ::new and ::delete.  The
benefits for memory management of knowing whether an object resides on
the heap or stack outweigh the costs of having to pollute the global
namespace.


Thanks,
