Did you mean to have both "pool" and "index" parameters there? What is
the semantics of the return value? Sorry if it was documented before.

Also, it may be a good idea to have
        memPoolGetStatsAll(MemPoolStatsAll*)
or some such because the internal routines may keep some global
statistics about all pools together (e.g., high water mark). You can
use that to get the count of existing pools for your iteration routine.

Thanks,

Alex.
