how is this different from just unwrap()?

Hmm, for a long time Rust strtegy on oom was to abort (since a panic! unwinds the stack, running destructors, which may allocate memory), but now that you point it out, more "recent" threads such as rust-lang/rust#43596 seem to point in the opposite direction. I will investigate further to see if replacing it with .unwrap() is now the preferred approach.

@danielhenrymantilla we just realized that this PR fixed an UB behavior on alloc() returning NULL. |
