To be fair, regardless of SH, I'd consider it good API design to put unsafe things into a separate module.
I'll ask again: why is putting unsafe* functions into a separate module preferable to just following the unsafe* naming convention? I'm honestly interested in an answer - it seems to me that for someone who doesn't want to use unsafe functions, the two approaches are essentially equivalent and for someone who does, a separate module is more cumbersome.
I'd be interested to know what exactly the problem is with moving these functions into a separate module. If the only argument for not making this change is to avoid breaking the API then we should do it *before* including vector into the platform.
I tried to explain the problems elsewhere in the thread. Roman
