I did something like that at one point, and it was painful to compiler. I
like Brian Parker's version because it is so much simpler than any
typelist-based approach. It'll easily compile and run on most compilers
(with the partial specialization fixes), and doesn't rely on other
libraries.

Whatever it's form, I'd really like to see this capability in
alignment_of.
