I think you should be able to define the unaligned type like this:
```
struct __m128u {
align(1) __m128 data;
alias data this;
}
```
It works, but I am not 100% sure if this type will always behave
the same (ABI) as __m128 when used as value, e.g. when passing to
a function (`void fun(__m128u a, __m128u b`, passed in simd
register?).
But unfortunately currently it runs into this LDC bug:
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/4236 .
cheers,
Johan
