Right, that's what I was talking about in this post: 
http://forum.dlang.org/post/luuwsdbfzunjmzbarxyd@forum.dlang.org

"Indeed, but disabling bounds checking in @system code is trivial 
anyway"

So leaving them only in @safe isn't much help #1 much D code 
isn't @safe (that might change if it were default, but it isn't), 
and #2 it is easy to turn off in @system code since the 
`.ptr[index]` trick works very well.
