The title really does says it all. I keep copying OS function declarations into my code, just so I can add those attributes to them. Otherwise I simply cannot call "signalfd" and "sigemptyset" (to name a couple from my most recent history) from @safe code.

Not all OS functions can be `@trusted`.

I don't about `signalfd` and `sigemptyset`, but `read` [1] can't be `@trusted`, for example. It takes pointer and length separately, and the pointer is a `void*`. That's not safe at all.
