As I'm sure you know we're trying to help the matter with library-based

abolished.
Cast and union can't be made safe either.. should they be removed? Why
not push scope out of the safed subset and leave the tool around where
it's useful?
Cast and union must stay primitives because they can't be done in a
library. I'd remove them if I could, but doing so would strictly reduce
the language's power.
