I've executed the Boost.Move and Boost.Container tests with GCC 6.3 & MSVC 2017 => pass.
I've also verified the general "technique" (wrapping the struct with the alignment attribute in another struct) with several GCC, ICC and Clang versions, and it seems to work fine - i.e. no bugs where the compiler "loses" the alignment for the wrapper struct or the wrapper struct comes out with an unexpected size.
So I guess this should be safe.
