Oh wow, and here I thought I was being smart :(
So, how can we work around this without assembly language
magic? I'm illiterate at assembly.
For stack allocations, you can use the workaround in [Vladimir
Panteleev's comment][1] (ignoring the ASM part, which is
unrelated to alignment).
For heap allocations, I guess the easiest way would be to use
[`AlignedMallocator`][2] from `std.experimental.allocator`.
