You can also use a union:

union Foo

  int i;
  ubyte[4] b;

// write to int part
Foo f = Foo(a);
// then read from ubyte part
writeln(foo.b);

ps. I am not sure of the aliasing rules in D for unions. In C, this is allowed, but in C++, this is undefined behaviour AFAIK.

I sure hope it's not undefined behaviour in D, seeing as this technique is used several places in the standard library.
