note: char[] is utf-8 so that might not do exactly what you expect if you 
are not careful about what you expect.

 i wonder how you turn uint into ubyte array?, because above method wont 
 work

uint i;
auto ubarray = (cast(ubyte *)&i)[0..i.sizeof];

But be careful, you have to account for endianness.
