Yeah, it used to be even worse than it is now, but it is still a 
terrible switch that should NEVER be used. There are always 
better ways and we should stop telling people to use it.

The newer `-check` and `-boundscheck` switches give more 
fine-grained control if you need it (and you again never should, 
since you can control on a per-expression basis with @trusted and 
the .ptr attribute.)
