Only if someone considers this as fixed:

good example..and it makes a good point.

however, let that point be not that C/C++ is flawed (since pointers are meant to let you point to anywhere), but rather that the code example is flawed.

there is a difference between a flawed language, and flawed use of that language.

e.g. what if I accidently left out the @safe attribute on those functions in D?

Then whoever is using your code (you?) will find that out when they call your functions from a @safe function.
