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.
