You would be unable to write an API like this without unsafe and being encouraged to write new APIs in a way that works in safe rust is an improvement. When I look at chrome/v8 source it is a series of example many distinct APIs each repeating this context problem, probably since this style of API can be the same as in Java, but the Java version is safe thanks to the GC. (Since their new exploits tend to be in big new APIs that relate to new flags, I think they would be well served by using rust for this splattering of new apis.)
