The code that does this seems to be the following from br/prefmanager.d:
     34         public void save(){
     35                 auto File fd = new File;
     36             fd.create(PREF_FILE);
     37             fd.write(VERSION_NUM);
     38             _prefData.save(fd);
     39             fd.close();
     40          }
     41         public PrefData prefData() {
     42         return _prefData;
     43         }

Anyone knows if this would follow symlinks and thus opening a symlink attack here?
I have no idea of the d programing language.
Cheers
Nico
