Well, as Rosen pointed out, if you accept virtual memory as memory, then it's
even older than that.

Yes, thinking more about the idea, when current S/W writes a file, it often has
no idea how big that file will be until it's finished. The equivalent would seem
to be a memory-mapped unbounded container that persists, with a name, after the
program ends.

Another thought I've had is the need to wipe non-mapped objects at program
termination for security.
