Comment (by glenfe):

 Good point. The above math was under the assumption that for any
 `value_type` the `allocate()` function for any given allocator would yield
 memory that is at least `alignof(std::max_align_t)` bytes aligned.

 It doesn't seem right to make this assumption, and nothing in
 **[allocator.requirements]** provides such a guarantee anyway, so I'll
 update the implementation accordingly.
