This is false. The GC only treats void[] as a potential source of pointers,
which makes sense, really. int[], float[], char[], byte[] are *NOT* scanned for
pointers. For a binary buffer that doesn't have pointers in it, you should
probably use ubyte[]. If std.file.read() return void[], I'd say that
std.file.read() is broken.
