> As an experiment, and to show what would be needed (at minimum), I have attempted to make Python/dtoa.c completely aliasing-safe here:

Would it be technically possible to completely get ride of the union? For example, it would allow to replace:

   set_dval(rv, get_dval(rv) + sulp(rv, bc));
with:
   rv += sulp(rv, bc);

Is it possible to replace Big0 and Big1 with Big double?

etc.
