On Windows, PyMem_AlignedAlloc() is implemented with _aligned_malloc() which requires to release the memory with _aligned_free(). Ah, too bad. Of course Windows does something different again. This weakens my use case somewhat, but I guess it would still be nice to have the functions (if you think it's maintainable).
