Sure. I gave it a shot in emacs-25 commit
b1079c0f86c218f016a6c2e84ea402f4e175fc53 as part of a patch to improve
portability to hosts where realloc and malloc can return pointers that are not
multiples of 8. (I don't have access to any such hosts, which I think are rare
nowadays though some may still exist.)
