I just want to say that I completely agree with you that "unsafe" is the wrong tool for the job here. However there is still a problem I feel is potentially solved via type systems, not necessarily Rust's, only if Rust chooses to rise to the challenge. After 1.0 might be a good time to start considering these problems. I know you already have enough work on your plate as-is. -- Tony Arcieri
