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?
