Use allocators to control unmanaged memory

The Collections package allocates Native- and Unsafe- collections from unmanaged memory, which means that their existence is unknown to the garbage collector.

You are responsible for deallocating any unmanaged memory that you don't need. If you fail to deallocate large or multiple allocations, it can lead to wasting a lot of memory, which might slow down or crash your program.
