// Provides functions and data structures that make it easier to work with
// aligned memory:
//
// - AlignedAllocator<T, n>, an extension of std::allocator<T> that also takes
//   an explicit memory alignment parameter. The memory blocks returned by the
//   allocator are aligned to this number of bytes, i.e. the address of the
//   beginning of the block will be N * alignment_bytes for some N.
// - AlignedVector<>, a specialization of std::vector<> that uses the aligned
//   allocator to create blocks with explicit allocations.
//
// - AlignUp and AlignDown are functions that align a pointer to the given
//   number of bytes.
