But that's not enough. You need a regexp that searches for extern
(C(++)) declarations that do not have any of @safe, @trusted, @system.
The attributes can also be either before the return type + name +
parameters or after it. They can also be mixed with any other
attributes. Sure, you can probably write a regex that matches all of
this but it is a _lot_ more complicated than simply searching for @trusted.
