"If freeable memory size could not be determined, then freeable memory is assumed to be 0"
Seems to fit the semantics of the windows/bsd/darwin stubs a bit better.

I haven't had time to look into Darwin/BSD implementations. Should be straightforward just need to find/confirm which names to use in the syscalls |

On Linux it's generally better to use MemAvailable from /proc/meminfo. There is a good justification for this in the Linux kernel git commit.
The hard part is there's no simple stdlib syscall that I am aware of that can read this. 🙁

From the discussion in #9, this is the AvailableMemory() function addition.
It intends to return free+freeable memory.
I think Windows is ready to go as-is, and this adds the change for Linux. Darwin and BSDs remain and I could use some help there.
