Brian Parker's version has this note in it:
  (Note that ISO C++ guarantees that a type cannot have an alignment > than 
its size as it needs to be able to be packed into arrays without padding 
between elements).

Which would say that the additional check isn't needed. But it doesn't hurt, 
so we might as well add it.
