I dislike the usage of union to use fetch 16-bit but only in little endian. I would prefer to modify the PyCodeObject to ensure that co_code is aligned to 16-bit and use an uint16_t* pointer in ceval.c. It would be simpler no? In the worst case, we should overallocate 1 null byte in PyCodeObject to align bytecode to 16-bit.
