-noboundscheck should be deprecated and replaced with
-boundscheck=<all|safe|none> for a couple of reasons.
1. What -noboundscheck actually does is confusing. Its purpose is to turn off
bounds checking in @safe code (and all other code) which comes as a surprise to
a lot of people. -release turns off bounds checking in non-@safe code (which
also surprises some people) but leaves it on for @safe code.
2. There is currently no way to turn on bounds checking for release builds
currently.
3. There is currently no way to turn off bounds checking for non-@safe code
without pulling in everything -release does (or turning off bounds checking for
@safe code too).
If we want to take this one step further there should be command line options
(both enabling and disabling) for every effect -release has and -release should
just be an alias for specifying a set of those options.
(Martin Krejcirik came up with the idea for -boundscheck=)
