Good article!

Off-hand one can see applications in banking, tcp (including the WWW), 
even military stuff. Actually anything where an app is expecting 
specific input while at risk of getting arbitrary input instead. This 
may be due to malice, sloppy users, or various hiccups. While this of 
course isn't equivalent to correct-proven software, it gives us yet 
another avenue where we could beat C++ on the head.

I'm looking forward to the day when DMD has a switch to check this!
