There's always unsafe. With generics you can always implement these fundamental algorithms once and for all in an unsafe block and then reuse that. No need to reimplement quicksort for every data type. But I'm not proposing to bring that to C (although it seems that generics are slowly creeping in by way of the macro system), I'm just saying that I think the changes proposed in this paper would make the language more complex without really making it easier to write C code 99% of the time.
