Indeed. And it'd be nice if std.algorithm and all the rest of Phobos 
and Druntime worked in @safe mode too, because currently @safe is 
pretty much impossible to use.

I don't think anyone is using SafeD at this time. I tried to use it 
once, but Phobos not being usable and a couple of compiler annoyances 
such as these two made me back off that path.

I could probably add one or two more related issues with the compiler/language.
