Darn, at the time I added that check, it was true I think that
type_with_alignment always returned a builtin type, so is_pod did detect it
OK, if that's not the case, shouldn't we specialise is_pod for whatever
type_with_alignment returns, since it is a postcondition that it returns a
POD type, or am I being needlessly picky?
