In userspace/application code this isn't giving you all the value you hope for - because of overcommit and fork/exec, you can OOM on simply modifying a variable (in a non-file-backed page).

What Zig does is great, but it is not actually comprehensively checking that all allocations are fallible and handled. That's not possible on Linux.
