Why do you think that a language with better details would prevent you from opting in to whatever non-default behavior you need?

Having the "right" defaults is better for everyone. Folks who don't know or care get a good, safe default with no undefined behavior or unexpected danger, and folks who know better can opt into something that fits their needs explicitly.

Seems ideal to me.

Whoops - that should have said "a language with better defaults"...
