@safe is a subset of D that guarantees no memory corruption. The 
only way to ensure this is if the compiler have all the source 
code (will object code also work?) and can check that all the 
calls are also @safe. If this condition is not met, it is not 
safe by definition. @trusted code has reduced memory guarantees 
and can also call unsafe code further along the line and 
therefore unsafe.

@trusted is therefore impossible and the criteria cannot be met. 
It's just a badge meaning nothing.

No, I'm caught up in the semantics. I see that a condition cannot 
be met and therefore unnecessary. @trusted is an oxymoron.
