See this is what I don't understand. In the 7 years I used Turbo Pascal
professionally, I don't remember ever having to allocate or free
memory: I just declared variables. This was one of the big advantages
of Turbo Pascal over C.

If these hypothetical Pascal newbies are sophisticated enough to write
something like a server that busts off chunks of RAM for every user,
they're familiar with allocation and freeing.
