What's the meaning of the DMD flag

-transition=safe

?

Is it new? I haven't seen it before.

Well, it wasn't in 2.071. I would guess that it has to do with some of the work that Walter has been doing to tighten up @safe. A number of things that were incorrectly considered @safe are now considered @system, and that will potentially break a lot of code. So, that flag is probably for managing that transitition (Walter has made a lot of PRs for druntime and phobos to fix @safe related issues because of it).
