I never got the point of not having bounds checking in C and its 
ilk.

All the alternative system programming languages allow disabling 
them, if one really needs to do so.

Which should only be done after profiling, proving it is the 
cause of the application not delivering the desired performance 
and only on the exact spot.

Me too am glad see bounds checking in D by default.
