I see no reason to diverge from that.
Welö, except for the fact that "any kind of variable" is not
well-defined for a language that supports user-defined
alignment restrictions:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that align(N) on
a member only specifies the alignment *within the struct*, i.e.
the member offsets. There's no guarantee that the Foo object
itself will be aligned to 8192. It's not really memory alignment.
