> Which isn't something anyone actually wants when reaching for C/C++.

Disagree. I think a lot of people want some kind of "cross-platform assembler" (i.e. they want e.g. null deref to trap on architectures where it traps, and silently succeed on architectures where it succeeds), and get told C is this, which it very much isn't.
