I quite like the idea of
void[] representing a chunk of memory that could contain anything,

or a block of data containing various data types cramed into it in some
organised manner?). In the end it is just a convention I like, not
attached
to it or anything, and D tends to discourage working based on conventions
anyway, I guess I am somewhat playing devil's advocate in this paragraph
:-).
I believe the reasons for not using void[] is exactly that it could contain
anything, including pointers, which likely would not be valid in the other
end.
