Hi,

I wanted to put an Int wrapper inside a endian_buffer and I have some 
compiler errors depending on whether it is aligned ort not.

http://melpon.org/wandbox/permlink/k52wH2A7yagL2vMP

I was expecting that the endian_buffer would make abstraction of the 
wrapped type and consider it just as a sequence of bytes, but it seems 
that it instead works only for some builtin integral.

Am I missing something?
Was this restriction intended?
Could this restriction be removed and if yes, how?

Best,
Vicente
