The usage might look something like this:

wmem_allocator_t *ep_scope = wmem_create_glib_allocator();
doWork(ep_scope);
wmem_destroy_glib_allocator(ep_scope);

and then in doWork, instead of ep_alloc(numBytes) you would call
wmem_alloc(ep_scope, numBytes).
Hopefully stupid question (without having had time to look at the code): does that mean passing ep_scope all the way down to the dissectors and where they do their allocations? I hope not; it's been a pain just to get pinfo all the way down into some of the routines (for expert infos).
