Oh, right. That completely slipped my mind.

Okay, I'll turn this into a test case.

Someone here mentioned that it's trivial to detect struct alignments in
C. If the configuration doesn't already do that, make it do that, then
add a bit of code to the struct PMC to align the element correctly?
set layout['member'], .DATATYPE_INT
push layout, 0
push layout, 0
set layout['alignedmember'], .DATATYPE_UINT16
push layout, 0
push layout, 'align'
Maybe that's not the right interface, but I'd like something nearly that
simple.
Is this one for the TODO list, or did I catch a pumpking in good
humours?
