{ 
  The OS heap manager is a small heap manager for smaller targets with an
  operating system. It's similar in comcept to the "cmem" memory manager
  for systems with libc support, but it aims systems that have a direct
  heap management API (Sinclair QL, AmigaOS, MacOS Classic, some
  embedded systems, etc), but not necessarily libc. It's also designed
  to be included in the System unit directly, unlike cmem.

  The main advantage is that it's much smaller than the regular heap
  manager, and it's a thinner layer towards the OS as well, therefore it
  can be slightly faster on resource constrained systems. 

  The disadvantage is that it may not be well suited for bigger Pascal
  programs that rely heavily on consistent heap performance, as the
  properties of the OS heap manager like alignment and size constraints,
  and allocation time are also directly exposed towards the Pascal code.
  Additionally, querying the heap status is not supported.

  Its main difference to tinyheap is that it can release the allocated
  memory back to the system, therefore it suits systems that can run more
  than one software in parallel better.

  OSHeap needs SysOSAlloc and SysOSFree implemented in the system-specific
  code, and nothing else.
