I agree an arena is a simple idea, though what I really mean is an arena-based memory allocator (the better phrase is arena-based memory strategies, plural.)

The speaker who's giving the workshop wrote a popular article "Untangling Lifetimes: The Arena Allocator" [0] detailing what we mean. Search for "Composition With More Complex Allocators" and see whether that clarifies my stance better.

Thanks for the feedback and references, those are always useful.
