Re: 0 | 1 RESERVE

If you ask for an odd number of bytes, no alignment is performed. If you ask
for an even number, the buffer is placed at an aligned address. Note that
BUFFER: (the defining word that calls RESERVE) and all the VARIABLE words
(CVARIABLE, WVARIABLE, VARIABLE, and 2VARIABLE) are based on this. This is done
only on targets with data space alignment requirements.
