Andrei:Well casting from void[] is equally awkward isn't it? I'm still undecided on which is better.See also: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4572 Bye, bearophile
That issue is slightly different because std.file.read actually creates the buffer. In this cases, the buffer is not created, dup'd, concatenated, etc. so void[] offers the most flexibility.
