I completely agree with this. It bothers me A LOT that it's the 
view of most people around here.

Why stop there? Why not remove any constraints in the language? 
After all you can just stop making mistakes. "Just don't do it."

Why do we need @safe, dip1000 etc.? Just verify the memory 
yourself, if you accidentally screw up then that's your fault, 
surely it isn't the language's fault.

@nogc? Nah we don't need that, just don't allocate using the GC.
