The thing about `void[]` is that it can point to memory that
also has a typed alias. You can have a `void[]` and a `ubyte[]`
pointing to the same memory. And you can have a `void[]` and an
`int*[]` pointing to the same memory. So if you were allowed to
copy from `void[]` to `void[]`, you'd practically be allowed to
copy from `ubyte[]` to `int*[]`. But that's not safe.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
