/**
* This function is identical to `memalign`,
* except it can be freed with `free`.
*
* Variant of `malloc` that returns an address with a
* specified alignment.
*
* It is unspecified how the function works. This implemention
* will allocate a bit of extra memory and shift the returned
* pointer so that it is aligned.
*
* @etymology (Alig)ned memory (alloc)ation.
*
* @param boundary The alignment.
* @param size The number of bytes to allocated.
* @return Pointer to the beginning of the new allocation.
* If `size` is zero, this function will either return
* `NULL` (that is what this implement does) or return
* a unique pointer that can later be freed with `free`.
* `NULL` is returned on error, and `errno` is set to
* indicate the error.
*
* @throws ENOMEM The process cannot allocate more memory.
* @throws EINVAL If `boundary` is not a power of two.
*
* @since Always.
