It's slightly annoying to have to do this loop, but I guess given that
we have to technically cast each element of the array.  Hopefully the
compiler will eventually be able to figure out what's going on here and
just do a memcpy.

Hmm, I guess we want a pointer receiver here to make sure we don't end
up doing a 16-byte copy.
