Thank you for the answer. I expected D to do strict aliasing
for the reasons you mentioned. This does come up with two
follow up question though:
1. Does strict aliasing apply to slices?
2. C++ uses 'char' as a 'neutral' type that can alias to
anything. What about D? Does char fill that role? Does ubyte?
We have void* and void[], I think they should have that role.
You can't read or write to void though (can you?), which is one
of the main points in doing an un-strict alias: Raw binary
storage.
