   * class:
   *
   * - `CoreAllocIsPoolAllocated` defines whether this `CoreAlloc`
   *   configuration should support pool allocation.  This defaults to true but
   *   a configuration that allocates allocators eagerly may opt out.
   * - `CoreAllocOwnsLocalState` defines whether the `CoreAllocator` owns the
   *   associated `LocalState` object.  If this is true (the default) then
   *   `CoreAllocator` embeds the LocalState object.  If this is set to false
   *   then a `LocalState` object must be provided to the constructor.  This
   *   allows external code to provide explicit configuration of the address
   *   range managed by this object.
   * - `IsQueueInline` (defaults to true) defines whether the message queue
   *   (`RemoteAllocator`) for this class is inline or provided externally.  If
   *   provided externally, then it must be set explicitly with
   *   `init_message_queue`.
