/**
This allocator sits on top of `ParentAllocator` and quantizes allocation sizes,
usually from arbitrary positive numbers to a small set of round numbers (e.g.
powers of two, page sizes etc). This technique is commonly used to:

$(UL
$(LI Preallocate more memory than requested such that later on, when
reallocation is needed (e.g. to grow an array), expansion can be done quickly
in place. Reallocation to smaller sizes is also fast (in-place) when the new
size requested is within the same quantum as the existing size. Code that's
reallocation-heavy can therefore benefit from fronting a generic allocator with
a `Quantizer`. These advantages are present even if `ParentAllocator` does not
support reallocation at all.)
$(LI Improve behavior of allocators sensitive to allocation sizes, such as
`FreeList` and `FreeTree`. Rounding allocation requests up makes for smaller
free lists/trees at the cost of slack memory (internal fragmentation).)
)

The following methods are forwarded to the parent allocator if present:
`allocateAll`, `owns`, `deallocateAll`, `empty`.

Preconditions: `roundingFunction` must satisfy three constraints. These are
not enforced (save for the use of `assert`) for the sake of efficiency.
$(OL
$(LI $(D roundingFunction(n) >= n) for all `n` of type `size_t`;)
$(LI `roundingFunction` must be monotonically increasing, i.e. $(D
roundingFunction(n1) <= roundingFunction(n2)) for all $(D n1 < n2);)
$(LI `roundingFunction` must be `nothrow`, `@safe`, `@nogc` and `pure`, i.e.
always return the same value for a given `n`.)
