Sorry that I offended. I only contacted them because I ran into
the bug of masking by ~8 instead of by ~0x7 in one place. I took
the opportunity to check on the NetBSD alignment criteria as
long as I was in contact.
Maybe "claims" was a clumsy wording for a quick-summary. I've made
a fair number of my own claims about various things, various ones
turning out to be false in my case. So I have examples around of
definitely-falsely-claimed.
