I've spent the better part of yesterday and today debugging a
complex matter involving pointers, reduced to this:

-defaultlib= -debuglib= -L-lcurl -run
std/experimental/allocator/kernighan_ritchie.d
In this configuration, surprisingly there's no bounds checks
inserted. I need to explicitly add -boundcheck=on.
Why the change? I've fought tooth and nail for keeping bounds
checking in release mode and with optimizations on, precisely
because I think it's a check that's valuable enough to warrant
explicit disabling.
Could someone please explain. This is a shame.

I don't even this is the way? We have a .ptr property. One cause
use it to disable bound checking.
