Not really. You only have to be able to import phobos files. You don't have to 
compile something that will link.

I.e. just copy the phobos source tree, add @safe to it, and point the compiler 
at that one.

I recently fixed the compiler to say which template overload was used. It's a 
huge time saver.

But you're currently doomed on this anyway, as an awful lot of Phobos winds up 
calling put(), which cannot be inferred as @safe without:
