No, it's not possible to transform. The array is initially
`immutable(char[])`.
Apologies, I quoted my original above to suppress the markdown
formatting. Here it is again with syntax highlighting.
```d
auto uuid = UUID(*cast(ubyte[16]*)youruuiddata.ptr);
```
That should work. I sometimes forget that my newsreader adds the
markdown tag, even though it looks good on my end.
