The reason both features (Unchecked_Conversion and colocated
variables) exist is that they both can be the right way to
solve a problem.
> Are there particular risks about using Unchecked_Conversion?
Yes. If the size of the two types isn't the same, the result
of an Unchecked_Conversion is undefined (IIRC).
> Is it a better approach the address attribute?
