It may be worth nothing that I chose a cons and float block size of 4
times the page size while working with the incremental GC, which ends up
16k on most systems. However, there are also two pairs of markbits in
each block.
I haven't seen anything bad happen from that choice yet. But there,
BLOCK_ALIGN is gone in the first place, and it relies on valloc
returning suitably aligned memory.
