May be.
I'd vote for disallowing slicing in safe functions. Safe code can just
use dynamic arrays instead. One other important use of arrays will be
small SSE optimized vectors (as far as I understood that), but those
should be fine in safe mode; usually you won't want to slice them.
I thought of that, but I think it's too restrictive.
Also, I agree with "unsafe" being a pejorative. Got any better ideas?
"unchecked"?
Some brainstorming: highperf, fast mode, system mode, lowlevel,
bare-metal, turbo mode (silly but fun), ...?
"system" sounds good.
