--- Comment #1 from Richard (Rikki) Andrew Cattermole <alphaglosined@gmail.com> ---
Due to placement new, I'm on the side of disallowing conversion to ``void*`` and ``void[]`` in ``@safe``.

We have been relying on a language feature like that not existing and it opens up a major can of worms to have it.
