So knowing both systems, I can say that the Apache apr_pool is a much  
cleaner design then MEMROOT. The concepts are the same, though pools  
over some additional advantages around file descriptor cleanup, but  
the execution of the design favors the APR. If someone wants mysys/ 
memroot/mystrings to compete with the APR, then a lot of effort will  
need to go into doing that.
