It is non-portable, since some hardware architectures may use 
different representations (e.g. different byte order on int and 
float).

Then maybe use std.bitmanip?

  import std.bitmanip;
  int i = 5;
  float f = bigEndianToNative!float(nativeToBigEndian(i));
  // or float f = 
littleEndianToNative!float(nativeToLittleEndian(i));
