Memory safety is best when it is intentionally, forcing it 
everywhere by default usually achieves the opposite of its goal 
by adding unnecessary friction

D shouldn't try to replicate Rust, its real strength is 
ipragmatism, giving the flexibility to opt into safety where it 
matters without imposing it where it doesn't
