I cannot find this limitation anywhere in the ISO 10206 standard.  The only 
limitation is on passing components as variable parameters (section 
6.7.3.3, "An actual variable parameter shall not denote a component of a 
variable where that variable possesses a type that is designated packed").  
Indeed, several examples (e.g., section 6.12, example 4) show direct access 
to packed components.

Do you have a section in mind that supports this limitation?
