We all agreed that nothing that assumeSafeAppend did should really

Does this mean that extern(C) functions are automatically considered
nothrow? That is not my current understanding.
No, but extern C functions are not mangled. Therefore, the declaration can
be nothrow, but the implementation not have that attribute, and linking
still works. It's a way to work around the compiler checks.
