@Walter

What's current support in the master DMD branch for this DIP and 
what remains to be done? I know that some support was added in 
between the various @safe-ty fixes during July and August:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3AWalterBright+created%3A"2016-06-07+..+2016-07-25"+sort%3Acreated-asc but I can't tell what's the overall progress.

BTW, great work fixing all those @safe-ty holes! The amount bugs 
you've managed to fix during this period is amazing!
