First, OK that's fine, but how about putting that in a comment? It could 
be either in the .h file or in the .c source files.

Second, doesn't this mean the "Replacing malloc" section should talk 
about the need to replace free_sized and free_aligned_sized, in the 
section where it currently talks about replacing aligned_alloc etc.?
