Safer offers no guarantees of memory safety. I view it as a tool to:
1. provide some lint-like flagging of suspicious constructs
2. help educate new D users to safer practices
3. make it easier to transition to using @safe
You are an expert, and I doubt it will be of much value to you as you are
already an expert in what is safe and what isn't.
Memory safety, as I predicted a few years back, is now a critical feature of a
programming language, and whatever practical way we can move D in that direction
we must do.
