Not really big on @safe (where is the RoI???? where are the 
products that beat the competition by being safe), but when 
currently used @trusted has 2 different semantic meanings:

1 - @trusted that means "I've audited that the @system function I 
call are memoy-safe. do not grep this, there is nothing to see"
2 - @trusted that means "TODO, this is necessary because I've 
slapped @safe on top and must go on with productive things. I'll 
get back later! I should have marked this @system in the first 
place. I promise i'll get back and fix it!!1"
