This is a list of security vulnerabilities in languages
including C/C++. 88,737 of them (!).
It's an interesting list, and an opportunity for D. I once said
that my job was to put Coverity out of business. The more of
these issues D can automatically prevent with @safe, the better.
As expected, most of them would be automatically fixed by using a
descendent from Algol/Mesa/Cedar branch of languages.
I look forward that @safe can provide a similar set of guarantees.
