I gave this a second thought after your presentation in LWG and then
it occurred to me that indeed the feature macro could be indeed
useful. The usecases that came into my mind do not belong to the very
narrow scoped cases, but to a wider-scoped situation where the
programmer might want to decide to either user over-aligned allocation
of some struct or to follow a completely different approach of solving
your programming problem in a way. But I was not able to construct a
reasonably looking example for this, sorry :-(
