mem_sys_allocate_zeroed: Uses calloc to allocate system memory.
mem__internal_allocate_zeroed: TODO: Not yet documented!!!
mem__sys_realloc: Resize a chunk of system memory.
mem__sys_realloc_zeroed: Resize a chunk of system memory. Fill the newly allocated space with zeroes.
mem__internal_realloc: TODO: Not yet documented!!!
