The whole point of me doing this is so I can use lisp files to define aligned data (and using lisp as a flexible text data format that can be compiled is the primary reason I use guile).

So either I make normal vectors aligned, or I define a whole new set of datatypes of aligned vectors with their own read syntax.

The former I just did today, the latter would take me probably a quite a bit of time to do properly. So, I'm gonna keep using my compile time option for now, and probably write a module of aligned vectors at some point in the future when I have more of an understanding what exactly the requirements for something like this would be.
