At the same location, there's aligned_types.zip.  It contains
aligned_types.hpp and a test driver.  The aligned_types
template is similar to aligned_union except it has
another parameter to indicate whether the supplied
types are meant for a union or a struct or a packed
struct.  There's a union and packed implementation
and I was hoping someone would provide feedback on
their correctness.  Also, I was hoping someone could
use what's there to implement the remaining aligned_types,
i.e. the one for "unpacked" struct.
