Heh, I was just cleaning out these message from my inbox, and I
discovered that spell-checkers are a crutch for the weak-minded,
too :-)
Thanks for everyone's feedback. I decided that I'm quite happy to
use type-punning for more-or-less primitive types when building
comparison functions and the like. For more complex stuff, it seems
simplest/clearest to use a `void *' for internal data, a la db.
Cheers,
