[Aldor-l] alignof

[Pippijn van Steenhoven]

First of all, it is not important whether or not there is an example. The
compiler is free to add padding to a struct { char a; short b; }; and then the
code is broken. On x86, it would make sense to align the short to 4 bytes and
the struct itself, too, leading to an alignof (that struct) of 0. I can
probably live with it as long as no issues arise. The problem is really just,
the code is broken and it would be good if a better alternative was found.
