exactly the thing i was writing about. "hey, you, meatbag! i, Teh 
Great Machine, said that you have to use unions, not pointers! 
what? making a pointer to union point into the middle of the 
buffer is exactly the same aliasing problem, so unions doesn't 
solve anything? I, Teh Great Machine, don't care. it is your 
problems, meatbag, i'm not here to serve you."
