I'm not sure why it's trying to safe-up pointers.

Disallowing the & operator on stack variables is going to cause 
code breakage of unprecedented proportions (probably biggest 
since strings where made immutable), I know I use it a LOT in my 
projects, particularly when interfacing with C libraries or 
making slices to stack memory. Also, shoving the burden of 
performance onto the GC for the common case seems like a 
particularly bad choice considering the current state of the art. 
Pointers are relatively rare in D; when users take the address of 
a local variable, it's for a good reason.
