Applied -3 as r37366.

This strategy still uses nativeptr stepping (fast) and not
the more general stepping in bytes (slow but easier to understand).
It might introduce a new 'cast increases required alignment' warning on
cc,
but not on gcc and msvc, and it is safe to use, since it points the
cursor to a properly aligned address.
2. Changing to stepping in bytes should get thorough testing, but would
increase readability a lot. Maybe we find a way to get rid of your cast
increases required alignment warning.
I also would like to benchmark that change, esp. on big pbc's such as
perl6.pbc
