That's exactly why we can't do it. Julia is for people who are sketching
with code as much as it is for people who are building robust systems. The
default has to be easy and obvious – and the most obvious, no fuss default
is to let you change things. If there are going to be limits put on
programmers for robustness, they need to be opt-in. Ideally it should be
simple and convenient to opt into, but still, optional.
