Clearly you can't do it. I'd like to use pragma Pack for bits in a
black/white bitmap array. That's easy to manipulate. But to actually
display it I need to do a system call and pass the address. If it
wasn't packed, Image'unchecked_access would be appropriate. But
that won't work because Image would have to be aliased, and it can't
be because it's packed. Must I drop 'Pack' and make it an array of
bytes and do my own masking, shifting, etc? What's the cleanest/most
portable/best way to accomplish the task?
