It seems to be quite dangerous attribute to propagate. And if we don't, 
we could ends up with strange stuffs dues to  safe inference in the 
subclasse.

I suggest override to propagate  safe in the case of  trusted function 
overload, except if overloaded function is explicitly tagged as  trusted .

 trusted isn't something that we want to propagate automatically.

I didn't confirm this, but based on what I observed of dmd recently, I
*think* it actually does this already.
