Thank you all for your responses. I understand that the compiler
can't ensure @safe and @trusted is needed.. I'm not familiar
though with all aspects of D and thought I might have missed
something.

BTW, if you're implementing memcmp, why are you using byte
instead of ubyte? byte is signed. Unless you're explicitly
trying to do arithmetic on integral values from -127 to 127,
odds are, you shouldn't be using byte. If you're doing
something like breaking an integer into its 8-bit parts, then
ubyte is what's appropriate, not byte.
I usually start with the signed version and if in the end there's
no need for the
signed, I make it unsigned. In this case, at the moment there's
no actual
need for `byte`. Actually, it only makes difficult to use some
GDC intrinsics.
