I think it would be funny if a @trusted function with fewer than two statements
was automatically rejected by the compiler. Since an unverifiable, but @safe
operation requires two actions, one to dive into unsafe territory, and a second
one to dive back out, any sound use of @trusted *must* have two or more
statements. Destroy! :-)
