Hi,

Can we add the following to EndianStream for completeness?

 void read(out byte x) { readExact(&x, x.sizeof); }
 void read(out ubyte x) { readExact(&x, x.sizeof); }

 void write(out byte x) { writeExact(&x, x.sizeof); }
 void write(out ubyte x) { writeExact(&x, x.sizeof); }

otherwise code such as the following won't compile without a fudge:

  s = new EndianStream(stream);
  byte b;
  ubyte ub;
  s.read(b);
  s.read(ub);


Keep up the good work.
Scott
