There is no need to use ALIGN before each and every @ or ! as you seem to be
saying.  @ and ! *must* have address aligned addresses, just as C@ and C!
*must* have character aligned addresses.  The use of ALIGN is simply when
moving from a character to an address aligned address.  When all is said
and done, this does not happen that often.
