This argument drives me crazy.  D will also allow me to do stuff like
system("rm -rf /"); or uint* foo = cast(uint*) cast(void*) uniform(0U,
uint.max);  (*foo)++;.  Languages should and do allow a superset of what
reasonable people would want to do, because drawing the line perfectly is
impossible.  In other words, just because you can doesn't mean you should.
