This makes sense, but then shouldn't alignedAllocate() be a free
function that could be used to make an aligned allocator?
Again, the point of an allocator is to provide a standard
interface for memory allocation. The user of which shouldn't have
to know how that memory was allocated, and I can't think of a
case where this would be desired either.
