I am learning still this topic, but can't this create an aliasing problem, as
in C?

My theory is, that Walter's code generator is too primitive to care
about aliasing. But I guess it's possible, that aliasing rules will be
added later to the language, when LDC (hopefully) gets big?
By the way, wtf is Daniel's code doing at all?
