[PATCH v8 07/12] rust: sizes: implement SizeConstants for Alignment
From: Eliot Courtney
Date: Thu Aug 27 2026 - 03:33:47 EST
Currently, constructing an alignment is quite verbose:
`Alignment::new::<8>()`
It's unfortunate because it disincentivizes using it at interface
boundaries. Implement `SizeConstants` for `Alignment` so we can write
e.g. `Alignment::SZ_8` instead.
