/// Helper for building an aligned character array type.
///
/// This template is used to explicitly build up a collection of aligned
/// character array types. We have to build these up using a macro and explicit
/// specialization to cope with MSVC (at least till 2015) where only an
/// integer literal can be used to specify an alignment constraint. Once built
/// up here, we can then begin to indirect between these using normal C++
/// template parameters.

// MSVC requires special handling here.

// We provide special variations of this template for the most common
// alignments because __declspec(align(...)) doesn't actually work when it is
// a member of a by-value function argument in MSVC, even if the alignment
// request is something reasonably like 8-byte or 16-byte. Note that we can't
// even include the declspec with the union that forces the alignment because
// MSVC warns on the existence of the declspec despite the union member forcing
// proper alignment.
