/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition
 *
 * Exercise 8-8: Write a routine `bfree(p,n)` that will free an arbitrary block
 * `p` of `n` characters into the free list maintained by `malloc` and `free`.
 * By using `bfree`, a user can add a static or external array to the free list
 * at any time.
 *
 * Notes: It's unclear exactly what the goal is with bfree. It seems like it's
 * a way to add space into the heap for a data structure before copying it to
 * memory. I've done what I could to indicate things are being added to the
 * free list, but the real world applications of this are not clear to me.
