This reminds us to remove as much undefined behavior as possible from D.

Fixing some of those problems will break some D code. An example from the slides pack:

void main() {
   import std.stdio;
   auto arr = [0, 2, 4, 6, 8];
   int i = 1;
   writeln(i + arr[++i] + arr[i++]);
}
dmd is right, so ldc has probably a bug.
i is 1
++i is 2 -> arr[2] is 4
i++ is still 2 -> arr[2] is 4
1 + 4 + 4 = 9

Addition does not imply an order in D, does it? So, the following lines should be equivalent:

writeln(i + arr[++i] + arr[i++]);
writeln(arr[++i] + i + arr[i++]);
writeln(arr[i++] + i + arr[++i]);
writeln(i + arr[i++] + arr[++i]);

Your reasoning step "is still 2" is inapplicable when there is no order.
