But IDL provides this facility with files ! IDL structures are written
to and read from binary files,
independently of C padding (cf. structure 'length' and 'data_length').
It would be nice to extend
this possibility to a stream of bytes and, even more usefully, to
pointers ...
Unfortunately, taking into account a valid pointer, I did not yet
discover the way, in IDL, to change the
underlying variable.
