good example..and it makes a good point.

however, let that point be not that C/C++ is flawed (since 
pointers are meant to let you point to anywhere), but rather that 
the code example is flawed.

there is a difference between a flawed language, and flawed use 
of that language.

e.g. what if I accidently left out the @safe attribute on those 
functions in D?
