Re: casting with preserving attributes

Jack Applegame:

I found awkward solution:
template ByteType(alias t) {
  alias typeof(t) T;
  static if(is(ElementType!T == const)) alias const(byte)[] 
ByteType;
  else static if(is(ElementType!T == immutable)) alias 
immutable(byte)[] ByteType;
  else alias byte[] ByteType;
}

I think that's essentially the right solution. I suggest to 
generalize it a bit, removing the byte from its insides, and 
making it a template argument. I think "shared" is missing.
