I'm trying to promote suggesting '@system' blocks instead of
'@trusted'. '@trusted' functions, but '@system' blocks - which can
only go in @trusted functions (@system block in @system functions are
redundant). It's the same semantics, but it might win the day because
the intent is to isolate the @system code, while still presenting a
@trusted interface, as seems so important to the leadership.

That might be better than using @safe inside @trusted:

@trusted void myfunc() {
//implicitly safe
....
@system { //wouldn't compile otherwise.
    auto ptr = cast(ubyte*)4;
}

//implicitly safe again
}

BTW, this is H.S. Teoh's suggestion too, and I like it better than mine 
after much thought.
