    Oh.  I like yours more!  Much simpler, otherwise you still need code
    in the compiler to dereference at small alignments, which there
    doesn't seem to be at present.

Sure it is.  emit_block_move would handle the case just fine for aggregate
types.  Of course this is more problematic for scalars, but if you do it
indirectly via a BLKmode object, it'll work, though that's probably more
trouble than it's worth.
