Example code:

uint[] toArray(string s)
{
  return cast(uint[])s;
}
version(BigEndian)
static assert(toArray("\xdd\xcc\xbb\xaa")[0] == 0xddccbbaa);
else
static assert(toArray("\xdd\xcc\xbb\xaa")[0] == 0xaabbccdd);



// The following code works, of course:
static this()
{
version(BigEndian)
  assert(toArray("\xdd\xcc\xbb\xaa")[0] == 0xddccbbaa);
else
  assert(toArray("\xdd\xcc\xbb\xaa")[0] == 0xaabbccdd);
}
