printf( "%ld\n", (ULONG) memory & 0x7 ); for couple and you'll know... If 0 it
aligns to at least 8 bytes, if 0 and 4 it aligns to 4 bytes.

AllocPooled() uses AllocMem() ONLY for big chunks of memory! It's allocating
small chunks of memory from big one, and I might use different alignment than
AllocMem() of course...

It's not really correct. Because usually nobody is allocating memory pools
with MEMF_PUBLIC flag set thought.

Because f.e. AllocDosObject() is recommended function to doing this job. It's
not enough? ;)
