Caution

The caller must ensure that there are SizeOf<T>() bytes of readable memory available starting at the location pointed to by source. Access violations may occur if this requirement is not met.

source is assumed to be a properly aligned pointer to a value of type T. For more information on alignment assumptions, see ECMA-335, Sec. I.12.6.2 ("Alignment").
