Can we deprecate that for -release?  With the -boundscheck flag, 
don't users already have everything they need to disable it if 
they need to?

But even if we can't, if the DIP to make D safe-by-default is 
approved, a side benefit is that -release will enable 
-boundscheck=safeonly, and then users can utilize -release with 
more confidence.
