I agree with your concern.  ZALLOC may be better.

(My only concern is that zlib uses "zalloc" as its API, but we will
not have to worry about it:

Feature #10082: [PATCH] add ZALLOC* macros to reduce ALLOC + MEMZERO calls
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10082#change-47983

* Author: Eric Wong
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: Koichi Sasada
* Category: core
* Target version: current: 2.2.0
----------------------------------------
This reduces code and binary sizes.
ZALLOC macros are accessible via public API for exts

OK to add this API?  It should simplify some code and reduce typos.
