Hi Walter, I have two questions:

1. Why do functions need to be annotated with @safe and nothrow in betterC? Why not make them default? I understand making it default for non-betterC might break some code.

2. string type was uniform and awesome until it was treated as Unicode. Any plans to fix this and remove auto decoding? That would be awesome.

Edit: three questions to two. I had another question about using threads in betterC. But looks like we can't use D threads as they are runtime dependent.
