That's a very good question! When connecting with C code, the C functions being called will need to conform to O/B principles as far as the interface to the function is concerned. It's the same issue as calling unsafe code - the compiler can't check it, the programmer has to.

But if you use D as a BetterC compiler, then the D compiler can check the O/B rules in the code.

Functions that are O/B checked are marked with the `@live` attribute, meaning that you'll be able to incrementally use O/B in the code. This is much like how you can use the `pure` attribute to incrementally write functionally pure code.

What's O/B?

Google took me right back to your comment.

Walter got a bit confused here - what he's describing is the owner/borrow system he's proposed to compete with Rust. This is unrelated to named parameters.

Got it, thanks.
