All good points.
interface InputStream { // reads up to buffer.length bytes from a stream // returns number of bytes read // throws on error size_t read(ubyte[] buffer); // reads from current position AsyncReadRequest readAsync(ubyte[] buffer, Mailbox* mailbox = null); }I'd say void[] is better here, since you aren't creating the buffer, you're accepting it. Using ubyte makes for awkward casts when you are reading binary data into specific structures. ditto for OutputStream.
Well casting from void[] is equally awkward isn't it? I'm still undecided on which is better.
