It doesn't have to, because the user hasn't asked it to (align the data).

It can't, because the various casts are asserting that everything is ok.

The compiler isn't psychic and it isn't Lint (though I don't know if Lint would
find these specific cases either).  I would strongly suggest that if you want
this sort of analysis then you take a look at some specialist code analysis
tools.
