Giving an incorrect alignment value to this function will not cause an
"instant heap corruption", you are burning a straw man.

This function performs a simple task: it checks the alignment of a
frame, given as a parameter, against a required alignment value, given
as a parameter. Simple, straightforward, predictable.

Adding special cases to this function would break these properties.

Also, I am roughly one bikeshedding mail away from losing interest in
this whole matter.
