Can `align`s be inserted in S or/and T so that T is packed to 8

I though this would do the trick but not...
struct S
{
int i; // 4 bytes
short s; // 2 byte
bool b; // 1 byte
}
static assert(S.sizeof == 8);
static assert(S.alignof == 4);
align(4) struct T
{
align(4) S s;
align(1) char c;
}
static assert(T.alignof == 4);
// TODO: static assert(T.sizeof == 8);
T.sizeof is still 12 bytes, I want it to be 8.
