type-punning is what the current warning uses.  All my code does is add
a second message that changes "will" to "may".  So I think changing the
wording is a separate issue from my proposal.

I don't see any use of the word "pun" in the ISO C standard, so I see no
reason why we have to keep this wording.  Did you want to suggest
something different?  Maybe something using the word "cast" instead of
"type-punned"?
