Hm, it'd be a bunch of memcpy's added, that's true. But even just doing
something like that to a variant of findJsonbValueFromContainer() might
be quite rewarding.
I'm kinda wondering about treating short datums differently on platforms
that don't care much about alignment, like modern x86. It'd not take
many code changes to only do alignment copying of short datums on
platforms that care...
