Add:

    @safe:

at the top of your D module and you'll find the @system code. The D compiler is 
the static analysis tool. It's true that @safe should have been the default, but 
too much code would break if that were changed. Adding one line to the top of a 
module is very doable for those that are desirous of adding the safety checks.

You can also add:

    @nogc:

at the top, too. It isn't necessary to tediously annotate every function.
