Is there way to just dump staticRead bytes to seq.

[treeform]

I am working on my timezone library ( 
[https://github.com/treeform/chrono](https://github.com/treeform/chrono) ) and 
I would like to pack timezone definitions into the binary. I can do that with 
staticRead, but then I have to read the binary out of the string. My binary 
uses the exact same flat (no nested structures) as the seq memory. Is there a 
way for me to just say seq should point to the bytes from staticRead without 
doing any copies or reads?

Here is the code I have now which feels super complex (and stupid):
    
    
    const zoneData = staticRead("../tzdata/timeZones.bin")
    
    var timeZones* = newSeq[TimeZone](zoneData.len div sizeof(TimeZone)) ## 
List of all timezones
    
    var zoneStream = newStringStream(zoneData)
    for i in 0..<timeZones.len:
      var dummyZone = TimeZone()
      discard zoneStream.readData(cast[pointer](addr dummyZone), 
sizeof(TimeZone))
      timeZones[i] = dummyZone
    
    

I want to have code look more like this:
    
    
    var timeZones = newSeq[TimeZone](0)
    var timeZonesBin = staticRead("../tzdata/timeZones.bin")
    
    timeZone.internalPointer = addr timeZonesBin[0]
    timeZone.len = timeZonesBin.len div sizeof(TimeZone)
    

Thanks!
