* Support aligned memory transfer from and to potentially unaligned memory.
*
* This template causes no costs, the cast data pointer is identical to 'T * p = &store'.
*
* packed_t is used in \ref ByteUtils.
*
* @anchor packed_t_alignment_cast
* Background for using packed_t:
*
* Due to the potentially unaligned memory address of `buffer`,
* we can't just directly use pointer arithmetic like:
* <pre>
* // return uint16_t from memory
* return *( (uint16_t *) ( buffer ) );
*
* // store uint16_t to memory
* *( (uint16_t *) ( buffer ) ) = v;
* </pre>
*
* The universal alternative using `memcpy()` is costly:
* <pre>
* // return uint16_t from memory
* memcpy(&v, buffer, sizeof(v));
* return v;
*
* // store uint16_t to memory
* memcpy(buffer, &v, sizeof(v));
* </pre>
*
* Solution is to use the *free of costs* high performance *compiler magic* 'struct __attribute__((__packed__))'.<br />
* The offset memory is pointer_cast() into the desired packed_t type and its packed_t::store accessed thereafter:
* <pre>
* // return uint16_t from memory
* return pointer_cast<const packed_t<uint16_t>*>( buffer )->store;
*
* // store uint16_t to memory
* pointer_cast<packed_t<uint16_t>*>( buffer )->store = v;
* </pre>
