Discussion:

[memory.resource.private] says:

virtual void* do_allocate(size_t bytes, size_t alignment) = 0;
-1- Requires: Alignment shall be a power of two.

Is that supposed to be a requirement on the alignment specified by the alignment parameter? If so the word "Alignment" should not be capitalized and in text font.

The resolution should reference [basic.align]. Jonathan to update the wording.

[2016-08 - Chicago]

Thurs AM: Moved to NAD Editorial. Will change "Alignment" to alignment and add a reference to [basic.align]

Proposed resolution:

Modify [memory.resource.private] paragraph 1 as shown:
```
virtual void* do_allocate(size_t bytes, size_t alignment) = 0;
```
-1- Requires: ~~Alignment~~The alignment specified by alignment shall be a power of two.
