   My use of special was referring to the fact that this pattern
requires either Unchecked_Conversion or its moral equivalent, but is
still completely portable!  You have to move the same data as both
records and as arrays of Storage_Elements, but the mapping between the
two does not affect the operation of the program. (At least as long as
it is reversible.)
