Most of phobos is currently not usable with DIP1000, partly because
safety checks are hard errors (instead of deprecations) and partly
because of implementation bugs.
You can try it experimentally with isolated code snippets.
Don't expect much documentation or help at this stage, the feature will
properly released when it's finished.

Any way to escape pointers in @safe code with -dip1000 enabled are
considered bugs and should be reported under issues.dlang.org using the
`safe` keyword and `[scope]` in the title.
