With the converged release coming, smalloc will simply cease to exist altogether, since it is not possible to make it work with v8 4.4+.

As such, it may be prudent to issue a deprecation warning for it in node v0.12 since people may have not gotten the message from io.js yet.

However, there's no alternatives that work on v0.12 directly, since the final required typed array APIs were added in v8 4.3.
