Still I have to admit that I strongly dislike this yet another
(and imho strange) memory pool. However, I am not going to argue
because I can't suggest something better right now.

But. Perhaps it makes sense to at least add a couple of trivial
helpers in 10/13? Something like arg_buf_get/put/init, just to
simplify the potential changes.

Also. I think we should not use this pool unconditionally but
again, this is another improvement we can do later.

Oleg.
