D seems to ignore align() attribute. The following program should
print 12, but it outputs 6:

    import stdio;

    struct vector
    {
    align(4):
     short x;
     short y;
     short z;
    }

    int main(char[][] args)
    {
     printf("%d\n", vector.size);
    }

...or am I doing something wrong?

Also, could you please make it so that align() could be applied to structs & unions as well? Like this:

    align(1) struct DIB_HEADER ...

Seems a bit more consistent when I want to define alignment for the entire structure, not its separate members.

I'll check it out. -Walter
