Alignment constraints, if set correctly, prevent mistakes such as 
storing a struct whose alignment is 16 bytes into a memory segment 
address which is only 4-byte aligned. This can result in loss of 
performance, or loss of atomic operations (when using var handles), and 
might even have bad repercussions on FFI (as the ABI specifies certain 
alignment constraints for data it expects native compilers to adhere to).
