I think anything like that is promptly going to fall foul of different people running different rustc.

If there are two major compilers, stuff will be NACK'd if it doesn't run on both. And even if it's bikeshedded over, the "editions" stuff will make sure it's okay.

(And from the efforts the rust people are going to for linux, and also given Linus' very pragmatic not purist attitude, stuff that linux wants is not likely to suffer too much bikeshedding. Even if it does (quite likely) end up as "this only exists in unsafe code".)

Cheers,
Wol
