Because it isn't the default. But even if it was, people would 
ask "why is this giving me an error?" and the same explanation 
would need to be given. Certainly, a compile error is better than 
runtime corruption, but the underlying issue ought to be fixed 
anyway.

Phobos could have been written to avoid this problem too, there's 
a few solutions that work, but right now, using the standard 
library in a way people expect to work will be silently 
disastrous.

It is a good study of 3 language features, two of which I think 
are somewhat brilliant... and the third which is a big pain in a 
lot of ways for no real benefit. So I want to kill that design 
flaw.
