Rare or common, it still would be a nasty bug lurking to catch someone. The default behavior in D should be to be correct code. Doing potentially unsafe things to improve performance should require extra effort - in this case it would be either using the gc function to mark the memory as not containing pointers, or storing them as ubyte[] instead.
