           Summary: _argptr is char *
           Product: GDC
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All

On DMD, _argptr is a void *, on GDC it's a char *. This is fairly minor, but
I've ended up having to add casts for it in all sorts of code to make it
compile on GDC. Because AFAIK there's no compelling reason for it to be a char
* instead of a void *, I think it should be changed.

Yes, people should use std.stdarg's va_list ... but they don't X_X
