To solve your particular problem, you could simply increase the
static buffer size. This is a one-line patch. I suggest you do it
in scope of swim and be done with it.

Here is why:

Essentially, you introduce a new allocator. A very useful one,
indeed, but the protocol should follow one of an allocator, e.g.
provide alloc, realloc, and a (no-op) free. The allocator itself
should be moved to small/. You should check boundary conditions -
e.g. attempt to allocate more memory than the maximal size of the
static array - and return 0. tt_static_buf() then can be replaced
with static_alloc(desired size).

If you wish to do all of the above in a separate patch - you're
more than welcome.
