The simplest solution would probably be to ignore __aligned__ attributes
completely when we have an array. Or to do the change you suggested for
the vector tests and have the attribute attached to the array and not
the element type.
Another possibility is to treat the alignment attribute as applying to the
array as a whole (that is, the array is aligned to a multiple of 16 bytes,
but the elements aren't), perhaps with a warning that this use is
deprecated. I propose this because the tests suggest that this use is
common enough that it appears in tests.
