+ *  @brief Fit aligned storage in buffer.
+ *
+ *  [ptr.align]
+ *
+ *  This function tries to fit __size storage with __alignment into
+ *  the buffer __ptr of size __space bytes.  If such a buffer fits
+ *  then __ptr is changed to point to the storage and __space is
+ *  reduced by the bytes needed to adjust the alignment.
+ *
+ *  @param __alignment A fundamental or extended alignment value
+                       of the desired storage.
+ *  @param __size      Size of the aligned storage.
+ *  @param __ptr       Pointer to a buffer of __space byte size.
+ *  @param __space     Size of the buffer pointed to by __ptr.
+ *  @return the updated pointer if the aligned storage fits or
+             nullptr else.
