It says nowhere. It's part of internal magic of AmigaOS... But if system opens
window etc. it's likely to use OpenWindow/TagList() for this purpose not
creating layers manually etc. etc. so this applies to AllocPooled() and
AllocMem() as well... I hope so you get the point?

It's always recommended to use system functions which does 'something' not
your own... f.e. before V36 all programmers have to create port using
CreatePort(), but after KS V36 _recommended_ way of creating message port is
using CreateMsgPort() from exec.library. Program which is using system
support functions instead of custom or hardcoded one is more portable and
might works on newer OS which will f.e. expand FileInfoBlock or MsgPort (but
it's not likely to happens)...
