Yep. Considering that pretty every non-trivial/small utility 
software is layered anyway it comes even quite natural.

But I (often involved in systems stuff) will also use it as a 
private warning system. Trying to get done whatever can get done 
using @safe. Quite probably ("probably" because I lack experience 
with D) it will even reflect back on the design along the line of 
tinkering "does this *really* need to be here?".
