We just discuss (again) the topic a few minutes ago in the C++
evolution group. I'm taking care of this.  A proposal with tentative
standardese will be in the post-Lillehammer mailing.  Anyone
interested in this may send me an email and I'll be glad to send them a
copy for review/comments. 
(Notice that TR1 already has a suggestion for aligned_storage).


Independently of that, I believe the issue raised by Jason is of most
importance and need not be diverted.
