Woah, let me see if I got this right. If we were to store in VAR.C
above, the default for this memory model would be NOT to clobber the
padding bits past <c>? That definitely makes my implementation simpler,
so I won't complain, but that's just weird.

Arghhh... I was afraid you'd ask for one. It was much easier with the
test harness on cxx-memory-model. I'll whip one up though...
