Not sure those optimisations are worth much. And it's only safety by forcing lowest common denominator code and making you justify everything to a dumb compiler. Rust serves a niche, but it is a tight niche IMO.

Aliasing info is hugely important in optimization. In fact, it's needed to solve this very bug.

Aliasing info is, fundamentally, what allows Rust to have memory safety without GC.
