It literally takes you more effort to get an LLM answer, and if it doesn't, it's not really a dumb question, is it?
There's `@ptrCast` as mentioned in the post, but I agree that it's not optimal. I would really like a `@transmute` builtin.

Alternatively I suppose `extern` unions do that, but again, not quite the same syntactically.

I was just about to comment the same! Sadly, branch predictors are incredibly well guarded secrets, mostly.
