Since this breaks virtually all code out there I suggest that 
safe by default will be a compiler option only. Anyone who wants 
the functions to be safe by default must specify so in the 
compiler options or the build system.

Also many people here don't care about this "safe" trend right 
now. The feature is good but cannot be enforced because of 
backwards compatibility. Maybe in D3.
