Typing `@safe:` is not a big deal. Turning on safe automatically
requires anyone working with C code or otherwise writing unsafe
code to turn it off. To use the airbag analogy, there are people
for whom airbags are unsafe so they are disabled. Whether that is
the right choice depends on the costs and benefits of doing so.
What you can't say is that air bags should always be turned on or
off in every car because that's safer for you.
