One quirk of rawWrite and rawRead is that they want slices of objects.
It is a little awkward when there is just one thing to write and read.
Uncompiled but something like this:
int i = 42;
file.rawWrite(*cast((int[1]*)(&i))); // Casted to be an array of 1
Yuck :)
```d
file.rawWrite((&i)[0..1]);
```
Hm... an "asStaticArray" or something similar would be useful for such
things (and safe too):
```d
ref T[1] asStaticArray(T)(return ref T item) @trusted
{
return *(cast(T[1])&item);
}
```
