What makes you say that?

Playing with pointers is perfectly valid and safe in D, as long as
you keep to the rules in http://www.digitalmars.com/d/garbage.html
(and currently, in paractice, even quite a bit further)!

Please, would everyone chip in and try to keep wrong assertions in
the ng to a minimum, so as not to confuse (other) newcomers!
