Darren:
Let's say I have a hex representation of a large number:
String hexnum = "16D81B16E091F31BEF";
I'd like to convert it into a ubyte[]
A simple way is to use hex strings and then cast it to
immutable(ubyte)[]:
void main() {
immutable hexNum =
cast(immutable(ubyte)[])x"16D81B16E091F31BEF";
}
The immutable at the cast point is needed because string literals
are immutable in D. If you need a mutable ubyte[] you need a dup.
