Right. I expect to get away with fairly minimal source code changes, and
I'd expect that some of the common codes just will work the way the
programmer intended them without people having to even worry about it.
The problem I have with the union approach (even when hidden behind a
macro like yours - which makes things better) is that I'd be much happier
if the "obvious" code just worked. The less people have to really be aware
of the aliase issues, the better.
