It does make realloc code less clean that it

You said it: obvious. However you gave me a good idea. What if i provide an
al_realloc() which works exactly like libc realloc() just that it's
behaviour is guaranteed? in other words: if ptr=NULL -> malloc, if size=0 ->
free, otherwise call realloc and if failure -> free.
