   This could probably serve as a tracking issue of things to switch over to fallible allocations, with checkboxes and stuff (eventually), since this should be a fairly easy thing for people to work on as a first contribution (hopefully).

   MemoryError is implemented: PyMemoryError with a freelist, VirtualMachine::new_memory_error, and fallible allocation paths that use try_reserve / no_memory_error instead of aborting.

   Closing.
