The little I've read about strict aliasing rules leaves me firmly
incompetent to judge what's valid and not :)
But since both Clang and GCC 6+ are happy with this, it seems
plausible that this would be a false positive.

I *think* Leslie's warning-disable patch should work even with MSVC
(it should ignore unknown #pragmas, right?). I can't think of a
straight-up code change that would fix this.
