Errr ... wait... when you say "direct array indexing", you mean that this
does or doesnt continue to do bounds checking on the array access?
I could imagine that it is "unsafe" simply because direct array indexing
prevents mathematically proving that the program wont crash (?), or it could
be unsafe in the C++ way, where going off the end of the array corrupts your
stack/heap?
Well, *I* didn't say it but yes. Unsafe disables bounds checking
(which in this case is safe). I think you can just stick an unsafe{}
in the C# version to disable them.
