The original code I was using was written in Java, and only had
a method for strings. This is closer to what I wanted. My unit
tests were just going back and forth with readString function,
so I was completely missing this for other types. Nice catch!
There were a couple issues with your cod

That second line makes no sense (you didn't provide an array of strings).
Why toBytes!string("test") and not to
Can I not do this cast because it's immutable?
I'm trying to create a template function that can take in any
type of array and convert it to a ubyte array. I'm not concerned
with endianness at the moment, but I ran into a roadblock when
trying to do this with strings. It already works with ints,
chars, etc.
Here's the relevant test code:
