Hmmm, unfortunately the first project I tried it on exposed a 
compiler bug.  I've seen this bug before in recent compilers.  
Symbols for certain templates aren't getting emitted.

That being said, I ran it on a few projects and didn't find a 
single issue.  However, I'm pretty sure I was compiling unsafe 
code a none of my code is tagged with @safe/@system/@trusted.  I 
was compiling my custom druntime/standard library and rootfs 
which contains assembly and all sorts of crazy stuff. There might 
be a bug in your PR?  I rebased it and I've pushed the rebased 
version I compiled here: 
https://github.com/marler8997/dmd/tree/safeDefaultRebased

NOTE: I rebased it so I could use druntime/phobos off of master 
so I wouldn't have to cross-reference which versions of those 
repos to use to get everything working
