Or you could use Fil-C++ and get memory safety without any changes. Unlike this proposal, fil-C++ can run real C and C++ programs safely today (including interesting stuff like CPython, OpenSSH, and SQLite).
I don’t buy that adding an extension that is safe if you use it will move the needle. But making the language safe wholesale is practical. We should do that instead.
