Yes, why not. @safe, @trusted, @system is one of the more bizarre
things in D. It kind of remind me of protection rings 0-3 in the
X86 ISA. Few use all of these rings and just use two of them in
order to separate kernel from user code. They are just there
consuming gates and power.
ImportC seems to make this even more confusing, what are
functions imported with ImportC going to be designated? @safe,
@trusted, @system? If they they are labelled @safe, then it's
kind of a lie and the programmer is responsible for knowing which
function is FFI and what is not. If it is @system, then we need
trampoline functions in D for every function if you are going to
call it from safe, which kind of defeats the purpose of ImportC.
@trusted might be the middle road but it is like @safe.
@system blocks in my opinion is an improvement and we can do away
with @trusted because what's the point with it.
