> This PR proposes bit-aligning `PaddingLayout` to 8 by default as opposed to the current  value of 1.
> 
> More generally, the PR restricts `PaddingLayout` bit-alignment to non-negative values that are an even multiple of 8 (i.e. 0, 8, 16, ...). There are no mechanism to derive `VarHandle` objects for sub-byte access anyhow and trying to obtain a miss-aligned `VarHandle` would throw an exception. 
> 
> If integrated, all `MemoryLayout` types would be byte-aligned.
