Well casting from void[] is equally awkward isn't it? I'm still
undecided on which is better.

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.

That is also the least safe:
Object[] objects;
stream.read(objects); // most likely will fill with garbage
writeln(objects[0]); // access violation
It's a type subversion that doesn't require casts.
Excellent point.
