I don’t know much about the topic, but I am curious: does this open Rust up to being less “safe” (in the Rust sense of safety)?

C is of course higher level than assembly and I understand that C is very much not “safe”, so it makes me wonder whether this gives library developers incentives to add code that has a higher likelihood of creating security bugs while optimizing their code.

Is there any reason to believe this could be the case, or am I just misunderstanding how all of this fits together?
