Tainted variables are an interesting topic, but quite distinct from the 
notion of separating safe code from unsafe code.

As much as I was shocked about the use of @trusted/@safe/@system in 
std.file, std.array and sadly possibly in other places, I found no 
evidence that the feature is misdesigned. I continue to consider it a 
simple, sound, and very effective method of building and interfacing 
robust code. An excellent engineering solution that offers a lot of 
power at a modest cost.

I do not support this proposal to change the semantics of 
@trusted/@safe/@system. A separate tainted data proposal might be of 
interest for loosely related topics.
