This isn't a small problem, don't dismiss it quite that quickly.  Safety 
as a usable subset of D is still pretty non-existent and yet is used as 
a selling point.  The language still has holes -- I don't have bug 
report numbers, but others have reported them in the past, some closed 
some not.  At the library level things are far worse.  I've yet to be 
able to write any interesting apps with an @safe main.

Has anyone?
