Does this mean there's no longer an interest in making @safe the 
default? Or is it only DIP 1028 that's being dropped in favor of 
a future new DIP?
@safe seemed to be the way to go. It would be a pitty to discard 
the entire thing because of the extern(C) issue, which seemed 
addressable within DIP 1028 IMO.
