Johan Engelen (one of the LDC developers) has specifically brought this up
as an issue before. It may very well be possible for the LDC developers to
make LLVM behave differently, but as I understand it, dereferencing null is
currently considered undefined behavior by llvm when ldc has it optimize
code and that that can result in non- at safe befavior in @safe code.
