exactly this. i understand that it's necessary to have raw/unsafe/whatever-is-the-name code when you interact with the outside world, or to implement building blocks of the language. that's not my problem. my problem is when you look at something innocent-looking third-party library like a http-header-parsing library, and it contains unsafe-blocks. again, i understand it will give it a boost of performance. it's just not the tradeoff i would take personally.

[EDIT]: clarified that i mean third-party libraries.

I don't like the "unsafe for me, but not for thee" attitude where "third-party" code is held to a different standard than the compiler/stdlib code. This attitude is especially strange to me when it doesn't distinguish between something relatively high level like your example of parsing http headers, and something quite low level like the concurrent data structure implementation we're discussing here.
