I think you misread him.  He wants to enforce custom coding 
standards in D similar to how that proposal would allow, and he's 
comparing it to how D does it with attributes for @safe and 
@nogc, but he's not asking about @safe and @nogc specifically.  
Presumably, he's wondering if he can apply other attributes in D 
that could be used to enforce coding standards similar to the 
ones that C++ proposal enables.
