unordered-containers uses lots of small arrays (length <= 16). These
arrays are always allocated out-of-line by a call to `allocate`. I suspect
this is bad for performance. We should look into supporting inline-
allocation, perhaps by using a new `newSmallArray#` primop and/or by
spotting calls to `newArray#` with a small, statically-known size.
