Binary data in the code?

How does one embed binary data in code with D?
In C/C++ one would do something like:
static const unsigned char data[] = {99,12,2,21};
The compiler counts the elements for you, but you still get a
compile-time length, so you can do sizeof(data) and you'll get back 4 in
the above example.
With D it looks like to get a fixed-size array I have to count the
elements myself (annoying if there are a page full of numbers):
static const ubyte[4] data = {99,12,2,21};
Or live with a dynamic array:
static const ubyte[] data = {99,12,2,21};
Neither of which seems to be quite what I want, which is to end up with
exactly one non-modifiable copy of the data in the data segment.
Thanks,
