On Efficient Concurrency, Sharing, Move Semantics in Rust vs D

The following solution

is partially a good start...

but I believe it would be better to let the (D) compiler 
optimization stage figure out _automatically_ if it needs to make 
a copy of the variable `numbers` or not depending on whether 
`numbers` is used or not further down the body of `main`.

Are there currently any semantic passes in DMD that checks where 
reference data are read/written that could be utilized here?

Also Walter has talked about loads of data flow optimizations 
pending in DMD that for example automatically make new 
expressions immutable (and in turn shareable without locks) when 
possible.
