This is my first time feeling my way around the parser code so any pointer would be welcomed. The goal is to allow users to specify alignments for bitstypes. My particular use-case comes after talking to @simonbyrne about
Float128
support. I separated out the ABI changes forFloat128
which will be part of a later PR.I would want to make the alignment an optional value since their should be only a limited number of use-cases, any pointer how do to that in lisp?
