I've stated my position previously around these parts, but in 
summary:

@safe and @pure by default is really important for asynchronous 
code, and I'm all for it. I also think it's a big enough change 
that it warrants a new major language version as it will provably 
break old code and backwards compatibility will be a nightmare to 
maintain.

But there's a meme for every occasion, and my view on the 
outright hack to apply @safe to D2 code via this DIP is 
summarised with:

@safe and @pure is to guarantee my programmers don't write bad 
code. @safe applied to code DMD cannot parse is leaving a hole in 
the language security that needs to be measured in Astronomical 
Units.
