That we don't feel the need or care doesn't mean the problem 
doesn't exist. That's why I gave an example that I always felt 
was safe ( malloc(w*h)) but wasn't.

I'd wager no native programmer feel the need for overflow checks 
or Checked!int, that's why we have security problems in the first 
place.
