more use of the concept "allocator"

[elfring]

I think that the concept "allocator" can be used not only for the smart_ptr templates 
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=449787&group_id=7586&atid=357586). It 
should be used on every place where a template parameter can accept a pair of functions/methods that 
perform a resource allocation and release.
Other examples for this:
 - create / destroy
 - fopen / fclose
 - login / logout
 - lock / unlock  (http://www.boost.org/libs/thread/doc/mutex_concept.html)

It would be nice to have some more function objects that are provided by the class library.

Would you like to reuse anything from the discussion "RAII for value objects"?

That link doesn't seem to work.

There might be some value in making this proposal for individual libraries. But as a general request this is not going to be acted on.
