In the stdint.h of C99 there is (optionally) uintptr_t that's is an
unsigned int that is large enough to contain a pointer (there is a
intptr_t too, signed). In C99 you use that to convert a pointer to
an integral.
I don't know if D specs assert that D size_t is wide enough to
represent a pointer.
There's uintptr_t in D std lib too, I have to start using it:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/phobos/std_stdint.html
that is for C compatibility, D has always defined size_t and ptrdiff_t
(without needing to import anything) exactly like that.
