Would you consider separate `core.safestdc` package tree where

core.stdc modules internally)
Walter opposes this on grounds of increased maintenance

the higher-level primitives present in Phobos. -- Andrei
Please don't waste your limited resource on this. When people use
core.stdc they know what they are doing and take full
responsibility of the consequence. If they want safety or nice
APIs they wouldn't be using these functions in the first place.
