Would it be possible to put the fields in different alias sets at
tree->rtl conversion time (or whenever the alias sets are first
computed), as we should know they don't overlap?
Well there's no mechanism for fields to have alias sets and even if
they did, the alias set for the reference would be that of "float", not
of the field. This is because of the addressing rules in C.
