The pull request could have a hard time getting past Walter's 
veto.  The PR, if I understand it correctly, undermines some of 
what Walter argued was essential in 1028, universality and ease 
of use accomplished by defaulting unsafe libraries to @safe 
silently.

Here's hoping 1), 2) or the PR save the day.
