But the integer types are already allowed in packed structs and unions.
Regardless of your opinion on whether they should be allowed inside packed
types, the language should be consistent.  Either they should be allowed
in all or in none.  It makes no sense to allow them in some but not others,
unless there are problems particular to some but not others.
