What about something like
alloca $ \ptr -> ... where ptr :: Ptr Word8.
wouldn't ptr only need byte alignment? if the implementation allocates such values on the stack then it may be hard to guarentee otherwise. So, I think the extra verbiage should only apply to routines that allocate based on a size in bytes, rather than when allocating a specific type like with the plain alloca and malloc routines.
