I do casting from ubyte[] to C[].
Only if C.ptr ends up properly aligned. There are also aliasing
issues, which i don't think are sufficiently defined for D (for
C, it would be legal only because char* is allowed to alias
anything).

Is it possible to ensure? In my case blob is created as
auto blob = cast(ubyte[]) read(fileName);
I assume that alignment is safe.
But what should I do to be safe in a general case?
