I can tell you that people who use this sort of thing at some point
discover it's not really what they wanted. They end up writing
functions to more or less do the same thing. I'm not sure you want to
go down this path.

Example: Xen 2 used __attribute__ packed heavily, realized at some
point it was a bad idea, and took another path.
