"Fixing" type system bugs by adding library helpers is not really a good

needs to be fixed properly. Until that happens, the alternatives are:
a) convention - don't directly access these wrongly-typed pointers;
b) cast to (void*) (or the correct type) and back; ugly and still un@safe;
c) wrap the pointer, this way it's at least a little bit harder to
mistakenly use the bogus type.
Do you want to take a quick look at the proposed patch to std.random and see if
there's anything obviously risky about it? No pressure, but would be nice to
have your comments.
