What occurs to me is:

import	std.stream;

class	F	: BufferedFile
{
void  read  (out TypeInfo t)
{  int  siz;
    Stream.read (siz);
    if	(readBlock(cast(void*)t, siz) != siz)  throw new 
Exception ("Wrong size block read");
}

void	write (TypeInfo t)
{  Stream.write (t.sizeof);
    if (writeBlock (cast(void*)t, t.sizeof) != t.sizeof)
    {   throw new Exception ("Wrong size block written");  }
}
}

void main()
{  F  f;
}

And it compiles all right.  But would there be a problem if I 
wrote during one invocation of a program, and later read to 
reconstruct the state?
