Well, somebody may claim that it is absolutely unacceptable to 
have real world D code without annotating most of it as @safe 
under any circumstances. If you don't annotate it as @safe, then 
you may accidentally use functions like 
https://dlang.org/library/std/string/from_stringz.html in an 
inappropriate way or have stack variable references escaping the 
scope. Memory safety is more than just bounds checking.

And then -release won't be a problem after your code is @safe.
