Actually, FPC handles even packed types correctly by assuming that they 
are unaligned so the example below is the worst case but there the 
compiler can't do anything but the user can apply the unaligned keyword 
to tell the compiler that the data is unaligned:

Unaligned(plongint(100003)^):=1234;
