I know. But that wasn't really the point of that whole post. The point 
is that it's difficult to pass callable arguments to a @safe function 
or function template.

Labeling most function templates as @safe in std.algorithm is going to 
break code that uses those algorithms. You'll see when you (or someone 
else) attempts it, just like I saw when I added @safe to my code.
