I don't know. Implementation issues have prevented it from happening yet. I 
believe that some additional requirements were already added (e.g. toHash on 
classes now requires @safe IIRC), but for the most part, it's simply planned, 
and I don't know that it's been fully sorted out how it's going to be rolled 
out.

However, based on Andrei's new thread, "All right, all right! Interim decision 
regarding qualified Object methods," it looks like this thread convinced Andrei 
and Walter to completely revisit how all of this works - including whether 
Object even needs these functions, thanks to your post on that. So, the whole 
rollout of making those functions have to be @safe const pure nothrow has now 
presumably been tabled if not outright scrapped.
