I think this is the key. alloc_usemap_and_memmap() is passed in a "void *" that it needs to update as things get consumed. But, it knows only the quantity of objects consumed and not the type. This effectively tells it enough about the type to let it update the pointer as objects are consumed. Right? Can we get that in the changelog?
