Hey folks,

in this PR[1] it got mentioned that it could be beneficial to add a
userland function that tells you how much memory there is still available
for you to allocate.
I am writing to ask for your opinion on this, because technically it should
be doable with a few lines of user land code (see the change in the PR, at
least for Linux). Nevertheless it could be nice to have such a function
telling you how much memory there is left before the inevitable.
I really don't know if that would be beneficial to any other case than
these tests, but maybe there are some opinions here.

Kind regards
Florian
