This is functionally equivalent to (forgive the D1):
ubyte[] getRepresentation(void[] data)
{
return cast(ubyte[]) data;
}
Since no allocation is done in this case, the use of void[] is safe, and it
doesn't instantiate a version of the function for every type you call it with.
I remarked about this in my other reply.
