You might be correct, but I don't think any of us have enough info right
now to make that assertion.
Oh there is enough information. What's needed is:
const(ubyte)[] getRepresentation(T)(T[] data)
{
return cast(typeof(return)) data;
}
If you have many calls to getRepresentation(), then that
anticlimatically shows that you need to look at arrays' representations
often. If there are too many of those, maybe some of the said arrays
should be dealt with as ubyte[] in the first place.
