Thanks,

I'm not sure why it's trying to safe-up pointers.
Disallowing the & operator on stack variables is going to cause
code breakage of unprecedented proportions (probably biggest
since strings where made immutable), I know I use it a LOT in my
projects, particularly when interfacing with C libraries or
making slices to stack memory. Also, shoving the burden of
performance onto the GC for the common case seems like a
particularly bad choice considering the current state of the art.
Pointers are relatively rare in D; when users take the address of
a local variable, it's for a good reason.
