For float v[4][4], &v[0][0] is not a cast and gives you a float* p such that 
the elements are in [p+0, p+16).

A reinterpret_cast to float(&)[16] is an interesting theoretical question. I 
think that it doesn't violate the aliasing rules, but g++ is in the habit of 
disagreeing with such statements.
