The doc page doesn't even clearly state this, it is incomprehensible imo:
http://dlang.org/attribute.html#align
"align by itself sets it to the default, which matches the default member
alignment of the companion C compiler. Integer specifies the alignment
which matches the behavior of the companion C compiler when non-default
alignments are used."
What the heck is this supposed to mean? It sounds like in any case the C
compiler's value is used and the attribute is completely
superfluous/useless.
