I think you're a bit too fast with your judgement here.

While the unsafe keyword doesn't directly turn off the borrow 
checker, it does let you to work your way around it. I don't know 
exactly how, but I'm sure it's possible; it's a systems

some sort of unsafe typecasting function. I think this is what 
Walter means.
