IMO, the variants in a variant record should always overlay correctly

so the variant part should start at offset 32 in this case, and this

variants should start.
This is not a guarantee case in the Pascal language, afaik many old
compilers don't even try, but make fields sequential.
As soon as you have expections of overlaying, you are dialect and
architecture specific.
Shouldn't a PACKED Record guarantee that values are aligned at the byte
level?
