Looking more closely at DIP 1000 doc - It appears to be saying 
that the compiler will try to prove addresses taken of local 
variable cannot be escaped. If the compiler can prove this, the 
function will pass @safe even it the address of locals is taken. 
If the compiler cannot prove it, the code will need to be 
rewritten to pass @safe.

So no hard rules about taking the address of local variables or 
not. Developers need to try it and see. Is this a reasonable 
summary?
