I can't - but the OP only said that he would prefer a standardized
feature, which _Alignas() is. He didn't specify a particular version of
the standard that had to support the feature. The fact that he's willing
to even consider a non-standardized feature implies he's much less
strictly bound by coding standards than I am.
