Please think about this for 5 seconds.  Maybe there are 2000 calls to
these allocation functions, and maybe there are a million function calls
in the files that contain these calls.  Microscopically optimizing the
treatment of 2000 calls is not going to do anything to help the overall
runtime, which depends on matching all of the above function names against
the one million overall calls.

If you have other names to suggest, please do.  If you don't have other
names to suggest, then please stop asking such rhetorical questions.
