Is there a word missing before "memory"? Seems odd to specifically call out spatial memory safety when memory safety subsumes it.

Is there a word missing before "memory"? Seems odd to specifically call out spatial memory safety when memory safety subsumes it.
That's because Zig offers spatial memory safety (e.g. buffer overflows and index out of bounds), but no temporal memory safety (e.g. use-after-free). I suppose the "and" before "memory safety" is a typo.
Usually people say “spatial” vs “temporal”.
