When I first learned C one of the things that a lot of professors hammered into me was that C doesn't care. Writing good C meant really understand what was going on underneath. All the functions were meant to be powerful. You want to shoot yourself in the foot? C lets you do that. Banning functions? To me that sounds ridiculous. That is why you wrap functions with another layer of abstraction. If you want a garbage collector then you should probably wrap your malloc calls. Same idea.
