malloc() is currently a global function, so the situation is unchanged by 
having a global name that refers to malloc() or a work-alike. Atleast, this 
very much seems to me to be the case. Of course you actually have a clue 
about how Ogg is implemented, which I don't, so you naturally are much more 
qualified than me in this matter.

None-the-less, I do think you are very much exaggerating when you say that 
this feature would be hard to implement. Of course, I might be completely 
mistaken. In that case, I apologize for wasting your time in advance. I 
don't think I am mistaken, though.

That might be an alternative. I'm not trying to say that this is a good 
solution, as I'm in no way qualified to say one way or another. However, I 
find myself unable to see how this feature could be anything but simple to 
implement.

As far as my memory goes all of the programs I've ever written could be 
changed in this manner in no more than 10-20 minutes. (if done 
intelligently, which isn't hard)

That might be the case (again, you're much more qualified to make that 
judgement than I am in this case), but that doesn't change that it's a 
simple thing to implement.
