The original intention was, when using a suballocator with a hard-coded
AllocationType(e.g. suballocating a buffer), that the user wouldn't need to worry about the allocation type when deallocating (as per the safety contract ofdeallocate). However, as is documented, theallocation_typefield will be exactly equal to the requested allocation type, so the user can hard-code it both on allocation and deallocation. This makes things more consistent and logical.
