[v9_16] Memory-related cleanups
As outlined in #3443 (closed), this is the MR that needs the most attention out of !6567 (merged), !6568 (merged), and !6569 (merged).
The code changes it contains attempt to make v9_16
more in line with
main
and v9_18
. I am not particularly attached to these changes,
they are merely a proposal.
Closes #3443 (closed)
