I remember suggesting a long time ago that all types that do not have  
pointers be implicitly convertible to ubyte[]. That way, write functions  
can safely use ubyte[] without casts (and even provide a bit of safety  
against accidentally writing pointers to disk or network). Are you still  
against the idea?
