This is a tracking issue for adding the convenience method is_aligned_for to *const T, *mut T and NonNull<T>.

    #[inline]
    pub fn is_aligned_for<U: Sized>(self) -> bool;
}

impl<T: ?Sized> *mut T {
    #[must_use]
    #[inline]
    pub fn is_aligned_for<U: Sized>(self) -> bool;
}

impl<T: ?Sized> NonNull<T> {
    #[must_use]
    #[inline]
    pub fn is_aligned_for<U: Sized>(self) -> bool;
}
