I'm going to challenge this. Is this from your experience? InvisiCaps, which Fil-C is based on, turns out of bounds accesses into panics. You're saying that turning any "benign" out of bounds into "abort the program" in all the C you? anyone? everyone? uses Just Works?
I'd rather the majority of those failure modes be caught by linters/compiler passes, not runtime safe aborts.
