It's currently implemented in D2 using the -safe switch, AFAIK
Currently it prevents you from using inline asm, but it doesn't stop you
from using pointers. So it's still 80% vapourware.
It shouldn't stop one from using pointers as long as uses can be
checked. (Many uses are checkable.)
It's hard to find a good balance between announcing planned features
early so as they're open for discussion and ideas, and causing
frustration around unimplemented ideas. Probably there's some erring on
the side of being overenthusiastic about sharing information about stuff
well before it's been implemented.
