Why add a default '@pool' for main?
Operating systems free resources upon process exit. That's one of the fundamental responsibilities of an OS. You can use malloc without free all you want if you are just going to exit the process.
If I could take a guess, then it is for embedded applications.
You could argue though that people should then really do there own memory management, but in the end you might end up just recreating the temp allocator with `@pool` anyway. It's a neat feature. (btw, `@pool` is just a macro from the standard library, no fancy compiler builtin)
