Clearly there has got to be reason and good judgment to this all. We can't
possibly decorate every other line of code with `() @trusted { ... }` and feel
good about it. `@trusted` means "verified by hand to be safe", and planting it
for arbitrary and arbitrarily small unsafe operations (such as pointer
additions) hinders proving, doesn't help it.

Any nice paint can be applied too thickly, and this is no exception.
