/// @brief General purpose memory allocation routines with the ability
///        to allocate from thread specific memory pools.
///
/// If compiled with NEKTAR_MEMORY_POOL_ENABLED, the MemoryManager
/// allocates from thread specific memory pools for small objects.
/// Large objects are managed with the system supplied new/delete.
/// These memory pools provide faster allocation and deallocation
/// of small objects (particularly useful for shared pointers which
/// allocate many 4 byte objects).
///
/// @warning All memory allocated from the memory manager must be returned
/// to the memory manager.  Calling delete on memory allocated from the
/// manager will likely cause undefined behavior.  A particularly subtle
/// violation of this rule occurs when giving memory allocated from the
/// manager to a shared pointer.
/// @code
/// std::shared_ptr<Obj> f(MemoryManager<Obj>::Allocate());
/// @endcode
/// Shared pointers call delete when they go out of scope, so this line of
/// code will cause problems.  Instead, you should call the
/// AllocateSharedPtr method:
/// @code
/// std::shared_ptr<Obj> f = MemoryManager<Obj>::AllocateSharedPtr();
/// @endcode
