Right.  Actually it would work to have additional data before the
standard link-to-context-plus-chunk-size fields, if a particular method
really needed more per-chunk data.  But I doubt we'd ever need that.

And, as you saw, the links to the pfree and prealloc routines would need
to be present in standard places in the context header.
