There is an ideology in @safe, but the problem is that pointer 
analysis is a research topic, so pursuing it in @nogc code is not 
realistic... Goals are set too high.

Lower the goal to having a library RC pointer with ARC and 
suddenly you are in a better position than C++ for some use cases.

By pursuing @safe in non-gc code it will either take forever or 
you'll end up with something too annoying to use.
