  18   * A memory resource similar to std::pmr::unsynchronized_pool_resource, but
  19   * optimized for node-based containers. It has the following properties:
  20   *
  21   * * Owns the allocated memory and frees it on destruction, even when deallocate
  22   *   has not been called on the allocated blocks.
  23   *
  24   * * Consists of a number of pools, each one for a different block size.
  25   *   Each pool holds blocks of uniform size in a freelist.
  26   *
  27   * * Exhausting memory in a freelist causes a new allocation of a fixed size chunk.
  28   *   This chunk is used to carve out blocks.
  29   *
  30   * * Block sizes or alignments that can not be served by the pools are allocated
  31   *   and deallocated by operator new().
  32   *
  33   * PoolResource is not thread-safe. It is intended to be used by PoolAllocator.
  34   *
  35   * @tparam MAX_BLOCK_SIZE_BYTES Maximum size to allocate with the pool. If larger
  36   *         sizes are requested, allocation falls back to new().
  37   *
  38   * @tparam ALIGN_BYTES Required alignment for the allocations.
  39   *
  40   * An example: If you create a PoolResource<128, 8>(262144) and perform a bunch of
  41   * allocations and deallocate 2 blocks with size 8 bytes, and 3 blocks with size 16,
  42   * the members will look like this:
  43   *
  44   *     m_free_lists                         m_allocated_chunks
  45   *        ┌───┐                                ┌───┐  ┌────────────-------──────┐
