There is nothing obvious about this, so please don't commit it without
approval.  GCC 8 and older used to accept
even float or void * or struct arguments and just ignored them.
I think we need to discuss what types we want to allow without warnings and
what we should warn.
As I wrote in the PR, I believe e.g. using alloc_align/alloc_size with
bool/_Bool is just a clear bug, you can store 0 or 1 in there, but e.g.
alignment 0 doesn't make sense.
Enums are on the border line, I'll defer to C/C++ maintainers whether we
want to include that or not.
