It's easy.

Start with:

module myModule;
@safe:

...
now when things don't work, you just comment out @safe:

now the magic happens ;-)

Coming from C#, that suits me perfectly - it's either unsafe, or 
it isn't.

I don't mind what D is doing with the other attributes.

I like attributes. The more the merry'ier... it gives me choice.

I just need to know what those choices actually are, and do they 
work.
