Hi,

What do you think about adding a special attribute 'align' which, if set for a data type overrides the hardcoded align property of that type?

It's a good idea. But you should also consider the other feature requests around custom alignments. IMO a good thing would be a way to specify a function that computes sizes and alignments, that one can override to implement specific compiler features.
