Most of it was implemented last year.  There are still plenty of bugs but 
the majority of it is working.

List of things that have been disabled in @safe in the last 7 months or so:
- Unsafe pointer arithmetic
- Unsafe casting of pointers
- Unsafe unions
- Catching errors
- Casting to/from immutable/shared/const
- Taking the address of stack variables
- void initializers
- Unsafe array casts
and probably some others..

It won't give you strong guarantees at this point, but it will catch lots of 
unsafe stuff.
