Perhaps the musl author is referring to Sean Barrett's comments about strict aliasing on his web page: http://nothings.org/

Fun rant by the owner of the company Sean Barrett works for: http://web.archive.org/web/20160309163927/http://robertoconc... (and while we're on the subject, additional UB links: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14170585)

As for how you navigate these files, you use a text editor that understands that you're working with code and not just a list of chars. Example post about this from last time Nuklear was discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11532001

Personally, for Visual Studio I use DPack (http://www.usysware.com/dpack/CodeBrowser.aspx); in Xcode, I use its methods dropdown (Ctrl+6); in VSCode, I use its methods dropdown (Ctrl+2); and in Emacs I use a thing I wrote ages ago that grabs the imenu names list and presents it in an ido menu in the minibuffer. And there are other options for other editors. The key thing is just to unshackle yourself from PgUp/PgDn/Find/mouse wheel.
