Except that generally assert does the job just fine. The only reason that -
noboundscheck is any different really is the fact that bounds checking is left 
on in @safe code even with -release. It just seems overkill to me try and have 
user-defined types act the same way. It's arguably bad enough that arrays work 
this way.

If you want control user-defined types with a version(noboundscheck), then 
create an enhancement request, and maybe Walter will think that it's a good 
idea. I don't know. It seems completely unnecessary to me, but that doesn't 
mean that it won't happen.
