It's utterly confusing is the problem. I would consider it a

there is absolutely no shortage of valid words. There is
however, a shortage of what a programmer can keep organized in
his head. That's the shortage you should prioritize, sir. I'm
not sure how to emphasize this anymore. We may just have to
agree to disagree.
I don't think this is confusing:
void foo() safe {
bool safe = false;
}
Using "safe" as both a function attribute and an identifier
doesn't seem confusing to me, however, it appears the
leadership agrees with you so I submit. Let's consider this
resolved and move on to better more interesting things:) I
appreciate you taking the time to voice your opinion and
helping me understand the arguments against this idea.
I invested the time because you took a very polite and civil
tone. ;) I'm glad I was able to find a way of wording it that
helped. I'm also glad Walter was able to follow it up with an
even better reasoning which speaks from deep experience, which I
could not have done. Let's move on!
