       <p>
       This calls a function, in the same way that invoking an expression with parentheses does. However,
       instead of using the same stack as the caller, the function uses the stack provided in the {#syntax#}new_stack{#endsyntax#}
       parameter.
       </p>
+      <p>
+      The new stack must be aligned to {#syntax#}target_stack_align{#endsyntax#} bytes. This is a target-specific
+      number. A safe value that will work on all targets is {#syntax#}16{#endsyntax#}. This value can
+      also be obtained by using {#link|@sizeOf#} on the {#link|@Frame#} type of {#link|Async Functions#}.
