Since the RTL's allocator is documented to align to 16 bytes
Where? At least http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/ progsu173.html only says that the size is rounded up to a multiple of 16/32 bytes; it doesn't say anything about the alignment. Besides, that page is also very much out of date (there is no such thing as "HeapPtr" anymore), and I don't think we should be documenting that kind of stuff at all since it can change at any time (only the interface is relevant/defined). If there would be a guaranteed alignment (which there isn't at this time, afaik), then that would be part of the interface contract, of course.
