Baking a custom malloc into a library can cause problems because client binaries can easily end up with multiple malloc implementations. Quoting jemalloc dev David Goldblatt from their chat channel:

I sort of think that dynamic libraries have no business defining
their own malloc independent of the process malloc

I think this would be a valuable fix to merge, as it's quite simple and mostly requires acknowledging the benefit. Is anything else holding it up?
