The access is not allowed by the aliasing rules in 3.10. But it seems
that this would be:

struct B {
   int i;
};

struct D {
   B bmem;
   void foo() { /* access bmem.i */ }
};

B b;
reinterpret_cast<D&>(b).foo();

because B is a non-static data member of D, and 9.2/19 guarantees that
the address of D::bmem is the same as the address of the D object.
