Me too am glad see bounds checking in D by default.
For the record, dmd used to remove bounds checking in -release mode.
I've asked Walter to add a new flag for that, independent from
-release, thus keeping release builds safer. It was the first and last
time when I used "if you don't do this, I can't work on D anymore"
card. True story.

There is a lot of confusion about this so I looked into it.
dmd still removes bound checking in non-@safe code when you specify
-release. -noboundscheck just causes it to remove bounds checking in
@safe code too. This is why I think it should be renamed
-nosafeboundschecking or something similar.
This does not sound correct. In NO case should you be able to remove
bounds checking in @safe code.
