  The “unsafe” keyword in Rust is a source of perpetual oblivious overconfidence. It should’ve been called something that befits it’s actual narrow scope (`disableStongTypeChecks` or some such) but that ship has sailed.

    "unsafe" is pretty clear: the block/function is not safe, that doesn't mean the rest is safe. I suppose it might have been better named as "asserted", "assumed_safe", or "manually_checked", but that's much more verbose and not necessarily clearer.

      These blocks are supposed to be rare, so a more verbose keyword isn't a problem. It would be better to be precise here and avoid a concept so general as safety.
