Hey Carl,
Yeah, this looks nifty.  I've got some comments on the implementation
though.

What happens if additional is bigger than blob->size?  Maybe iterate (if
you want to keep power-of-two) or take a max here.

Do we what to align the pointer or the size?  Aligning the size only makes
sense if the pointer is already aligned.  At the very least, we should
assert that the requested alignment is less than or equal to the known
pointer alignment for the start of the blob.

Again, pointer or size?  Also, why is this way up here when the other
reader stuff comes later.

Calling it blob is a bit disconcerting, but probably not a big deal.

Why isn't this a call to ensure_can_read?  Without this, the overrun flag
never gets set.  We also don't get overrun set for out-of-bounds copies and
string reads.  If that's intentional, it should be documented.

Also, you reversed the logic wrong.  It should be current >= end.

Should we check for current >= end first?...

...If we do, this does nothing.  We may want to set the overrun flag if
there is no null.
