The primary use of this functionality is intended to ensure `struct` fields that need to be 64-bit aligned so they can be passed as arguments to 64-bit atomic operations. The common workflow is to define a slice of `FieldOffset` and pass them to the `Aligned8Byte` function from within a `TestMain` function from a package's tests. It is important to make this call from the `TestMain` function prior to running the rest of the test suit as it can provide useful diagnostics about field alignment instead of ambiguous nil pointer dereference and runtime panic.

Name string // Offset of the field in bytes. // // To compute this at compile time use unsafe.Offsetof.
