Description

With the new features introduced in #204, the enum Allocation and the corresponding binding are dead code. The allocation strategy is now implicit in the style of function call.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the ALLOCATION enum and its Python binding. Verify by searching for usages across the codebase. Then remove the enum definition and the binding, and ensure no tests or documentation reference them.
