I'm not buying this one. The compiler could issue a warning,
something like "Warning: keyword safe will become a keyword in
future version, please rename the identifier", then after few
months remove it.
Some code will break, sure, but it's a mechanical change that
should be possible to apply by some tool. Also, with proper dub
package validation, it should be easy to assess how many packages
actually break if any. It's one thing to break vibe-d or
diamondmvc, it's other thing to break helloworld-d that wasn't
updated in seven years.
