*aaargl* Of course, sorry for the confusion caused by my typo... I fully
agree with your arguments for {peek,poke}ElemOff, but as you already
mentioned above, the typical scenario for {peek,poke}ByteOff is access to
structs, so the more general type is much more useful. It could be argued
that this is a cast via the backdoor, but that would hold for {plus,minus}Ptr,
too.
Cheers,
