The new Appender is now @safe and pure. This was done mostly by
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/1337 , which is done with
heavy usage of the trusted lambda idiom, eg:

() @trusted {unsafe code here;} ();

The problem is that doing this has a very high runtime cost.

Currently, my benches get improved performance by *not* using appender.

This can be fixed either by using the same "named" idiom:
void do_it() @trusted {unsafe code here;}
do_it();

(for reasons I do not understand, *that* has no extra runtime cost, even in
non-optimized/non-inline mode).

Or by fixing:

Appender being one of the "foundation" blocks of most of phobos, this is
arguably a permance-blocker.
