I can guarantee this will be abused and severely water down the
utility of taint mode. A discussion of easy untainting came up on
perl6-internals and fairly universally rejected.
http://www.mail-archive.com/perl6-internals@perl.org/msg00016.html
And again discussing RFC 227

Hasn't hit the archives yet. To sum up: "Orthoginality can
blow me, detainting without filtering should remain hard."
This doesn't mean we shouldn't have a way to untaint a data source.
It can be convenient and definately more efficient than other sources.
It should just be deliberately obfuscated and buried (say, like in a
man page. Nobody reads those.)
Definately for the guys with the white hats only.
