Thanks for doing that.  I'm keen to wait a bit and see if we can come
up with a core user of this before adding a test module.  However, if
we keep the repalloc() implementation, then I wonder if it might be
worth having a test module for that. I see you're not testing it in
the one you've written.  Andres has suggested I remove the repalloc
stuff I added but see my reply to that. I think we should keep it
based on the fact that someone using palloc_aligned might have no idea
if some other code path can call repalloc() on the returned pointer.
