Well, it wasn't in 2.071. I would guess that it has to do with some of the
work that Walter has been doing to tighten up @safe. A number of things that
were incorrectly considered @safe are now considered @system, and that will
potentially break a lot of code. So, that flag is probably for managing that
transitition (Walter has made a lot of PRs for druntime and phobos to fix
@safe related issues because of it).
