Rationale (June, 2014):
The existing wording is clear that the result alignof is the minimal alignment. If an operator returning the preferred alignment is desired, that request should be addressed to EWG.
For certain data types on some hardware, a given object can be accessed most efficiently with one alignment but can be successfully accessed if allocated at a less-stringent boundary. Should the Standard specify the minimum or the preferred alignment as the value of the alignof?
