Can we keep the old by ref slice() method, but add guards to
disallow cases where the alignment is off?
Honestly, I think it will just confuse people if the slice-by-ref
method only works on some seemingly-random subset of Tuple
instantiations - especially since the subset that worked would be
platform dependent.
We should either fix it, or deprecate it.
