+# API extensions
+
+The `void free_sized(void *ptr, size_t expected_size)` function exposes the
+sized deallocation sanity checks for C. A performance-oriented allocator could
+use the same API as an optimization to avoid a potential cache miss from
+reading the size from metadata.
+
+The `size_t malloc_object_size(void *ptr)` function returns an *upper bound* on
+the accessible size of the relevant object (if any) by querying the malloc
+implementation. It's similar to the `__builtin_object_size` intrinsic used by
+`_FORTIFY_SOURCE` but via dynamically querying the malloc implementation rather
+than determining constant sizes at compile-time. The current implementation is
+just a naive placeholder returning much looser upper bounds than the intended
+implementation. It's a valid implementation of the API already, but it will
+become fully accurate once it's finished. This function is **not** currently
+safe to call from signal handlers, but another API will be provided to make
+that possible with a compile-time configuration option to avoid the necessary
+overhead if the functionality isn't being used (in a way that doesn't change
+break API compatibility based on the configuration).
+
+The `size_t malloc_object_size_fast(void *ptr)` is comparable, but avoids
+expensive operations like locking or even atomics. It provides significantly
+less useful results falling back to higher upper bounds, but is very fast. In
+this implementation, it retrieves an upper bound on the size for small memory
+allocations based on calculating the size class region. This function is safe
+to use from signal handlers already.
