There's also a writebuffer method in the interface with this 
signature, though:

    streamint writebuffer(T)(in T* buffer, in streamint count);

Interface can't have templated virtual instance methods.

What might be my options for restructuring the code to avoid 
this, ideally without sacrificing functionality? I imagine I must 
be able to use a void pointer instead? But that's just ugly.

Maybe I could do something like this?

    streamint writebuffer(in void* buffer, in streamint count);
    final streamint writebuffer(T){in T* buffer, in streamint 
count){
        return this.writebuffer(cast(void*) buffer, 
sizeof(*buffer) * count);
    }
