          Issue ID: 20989
           Summary: Checking array.ptr causes safety error with
                    -checkaction=context
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW

The following code fails to compile with -checkaction=context:

========================================
void main()  safe
{
    uint[] arr = [1, 2, 3];
    assert(!arr.ptr);
    assert(arr.ptr is arr.ptr);
}
========================================

dmd --checkaction=context safety.d
safety.d(6): Error: arr.ptr cannot be used in  safe code, use &arr[0] instead
safety.d(7): Error: arr.ptr cannot be used in  safe code, use &arr[0] instead
safety.d(7): Error: arr.ptr cannot be used in  safe code, use &arr[0] instead
