So does anyone have thoughts about how we should approach this issue?
How common do we think these type aliasing problems might be in our
code, and if we do have problems, can we just fix each offending bit
of code with temp assignments or other "disambiguating" statements, or
is there some higher level way we might be able to address the issue
(i.e. could a union help here, something else?).
