And describe it in documentation. We've introduced
sectalign in 2.09rc series and have to provide an
ability to steer this feature.

check that the section's alignment characteristics are sensible for
the use of \c{ALIGN} or \c{ALIGNB}.
Both \c{ALIGN} and \c{ALIGNB} do call \c{SECTALIGN} macro implicitly.
See \k{sectalign} for details.
See also the \c{smartalign} standard macro package, \k{pkg_smartalign}.
\S{sectalign} \i\c{SECTALIGN}: Section Alignment
The \c{SECTALIGN} macros provides a way to modify alignment attribute
of output file section. Unlike the \c{align=} attribute allowed at section
definition only the \c{SECTALIGN} macro may be used any time you need it.

at section definition only) the \c{SECTALIGN} macro may be used at any time.
For example the statement
For example the directive
\c

sets the section alignment requirements to 16 bytes. Once increased it can
not be decreased, the magnitude may grow only.
It must be also noted that \c{SECTALIGN} gets called implicitly inside \c{ALIGN}
handler and as result \c{ALIGN} may update section alignment.
Note that \c{ALIGN} (see \k{align}) calls the \c{SECTALIGN} macro implicitly
so the active section alignment requirements may be updated. This is by default
behaviour, if for some reason you want the \c{ALIGN} do not call \c{SECTALIGN}
at all use the directive
\c SECTALIGN OFF
It is still possible to turn in on again by
\c SECTALIGN ON
