=head1 Description

Implements the buddy system described at L
in 100% Pure Perl.  Blocks can be identified by names or addresses which remain
invariant even after one buddy system has been copied to a new one to compact
free space. Each named allocation can be accessed via a generated method which
identifies an lvalue area of a L string used to back the memory
organised by the buddy system.


=head1 Methods

=head2 new()

Create a new Buddy system


=head2 allocField($buddySystem, $name, $size)

Allocate a block in the buddy system, give it a name that is invariant even after this buddy system has been copied to a new buddy system to compact its storage, and return the address of its location in the buddy system

     Parameter     Description
  1  $buddySystem  Buddy system
  2  $name         name of block
  3  $size         integer log2(size of allocation)

=head2 alloc($buddySystem, $size)

Allocate a block and return its address

     Parameter     Description
  1  $buddySystem  Buddy system
  2  $size         integer log2(size of allocation)

=head2 locateAddress($buddySystem, $alloc)

Find the current location of a block by its original address after it has been copied to a new buddy system

     Parameter     Description
  1  $buddySystem  Buddy system
  2  $alloc        address at which the block was originally located

=head2 locateName($buddySystem, $name)

Find the current location of a named block after it has been copied to a new buddy system

     Parameter     Description
  1  $buddySystem  Buddy system
  2  $name         name of the block
