I wasn't sure. The C99 standard does not specify what the behavior should be.
It is implementation defined. I guess most implementations just set the
alignment of the struct with the alignment of its most demanding member.
I need to change how the alignment for nested structures is computed. Right
now alignments are being computed as if the 'T{...}' codes were not there. I
will hold off until we decide what that rule should be, but I think the most
demanding element rule seems reasonable.
