//
// With future CA protocols user defined payload composition will be
// supported and we will need to move away from a naturally aligned
// protocol (because pad byte overhead will probably be excessive when
// maintaining 8 byte natural alignment if the user isnt thinking about
// placing like sized elements together).
//
// Nevertheless, the R3.14 protocol continues to be naturally aligned,
// and all of the fields within the DBR_XXXX types are naturally aligned.
// Therefore we support here two wire transfer interfaces (naturally
// aligned and otherwise) because there are important optimizations
// specific to each of them.
//
// At some point in the future the naturally aligned interfaces might
// be eliminated (or unbundled from base) should they be no-longer needed.
