3. Mallocator could also implement these on Posix:

However,
Windows requires a specific call for deallocating aligned

accommodate both portably, we leave Mallocator as is and create
AlignedMallocator that uses the _aligned_* family on Windows
and the
respective functions on Posix. On Windows, allocate() requests
would
pass a default of platformSize (i.e. 16 I suspect) to
_aligned_malloc.
Just implemented AlignedMallocator and pushed.

Untested on Windows.

In the following line:
----------
On Posix, forwards to realloc. On Windows, calls
_aligned_realloc(b.ptr, newSize, platformAlignment).

Link is incorrect (http//, colon is missing).
