:mrdocs:

Return a pointer to a block of raw memory allocated from the specified `allocator` having a size and alignment appropriate for an object of (templatize parameter) `t_TYPE`. Optionally specify `n` for the number of objects; otherwise space for a single object is allocated. Since `t_TYPE` cannot be deduced from the function parameters, it must be supplied explicitly (in `<>` brackets) by the caller.
