As far I remember this thread about two pools paradigm itself
(result_pool and scratch_pool). It's not about making all functions
follow two pools paradigm. Some of API introduced in 1.9 doesn't
follow this paradigm for some reason. Please understand me correctly:
I really like two pool paradigm, but sometimes it's not necessary,
especially for local helpers.
