Because almost no IO routines in Phobos are marked @safe, which implies
that it's difficult in practice or that people simply haven't done it. I
checked std.file, std.net.curl, and std.stdio; a handful of things are
@safe while the vast majority aren't.
I want everything I do to be @safe. Unfortunately, "everything I do"
includes IO (and std.json), and while it's not sprinkled throughout my
code, the call stack has enough variety that I can't mark very much @safe
at the end of the day.
At the very least, it would be nice to say: I can't entirely trust some
of the code I'm calling, but at least for the code I'm writing here, stop
me from doing anything stupid. A @tryToBeSafeIsh, if you will.
Correct, the bug isn't that the documentation is missing about why it's
not @safe. The bug is that a whole lot of phobos (and druntime) should
be @safe but the work hasn't been done to mark it as such. At this
point in time, there's not many interesting apps that could mark their
main with @safe, which is a real shame.
