Sorry, but having unsafe code is burden enough.
I don't see any need to help people continue to write unsafe code.
If at all, it is enough that it will be still possible to write 
unsafe code. Its not required to make that easy. Why can't those 
people be bothered with giving -unsafe as compile parameter? (Or 
even something more sofisticated)

IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE MORE COMPLICATED TO SHOOT YOUR FOOT THAN 
AVOIDING IT
