I am unsure about this, but I think that it is better for std.file.read() to
return something like a ubyte[] instead of a void[].

It's a problem to perform a cast(ubyte[]) in SafeD:
auto data = cast(ubyte[])std.file.read();

Or maybe in SafeD I have to use other safer functions to load binary data, like
slurp() or something similar.
