No! That will fail. 

Because allocate_string pokes BYTES it only allocates enough RAM for each byte
in the string plus an extra one for the trailing zero.

Given that allocate_string("") only reserves a single RAM byte, peek4u(a) will
attempt to fetch 4 bytes from the address but only one has been allocated, thus
it will try to access RAM that it doesn't own.
