terminology: allocated object → allocation Rust does not have "objects" in memory so "allocated object" is a somewhat odd name. I am not sure where the term comes from. "object" has been used to refer to allocations already [in 1.0 docs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.0.0/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.offset); this was apparently later changed to "allocated object". "Allocation" is already the terminology used in Miri and in the [UCG](https://rust-lang.github.io/unsafe-code-guidelines/glossary.html#allocation). We should properly move to that terminology, and avoid any confusion about whether Rust has an object memory model. (It does not. Memory contains untyped bytes.)
