Would something like this work?
(&data)[0..length]
Nope; &data is a char[0]*, and slicing it will get you a char[0][].
Which is pretty useless :D
d'oh!
Yeah, the only improvement I can make on your code then is:
(cast(char*)&data)[0..length];
Or the more general:
(cast(typeof(data[0])*)&data)[0..length]
Which still involves a cast. Crappy. Having the compiler do the right
thing is a much better option :)
