I agree with you. My point is that the additional feature (references) creates a new potential for UB that doesn’t exist in C, and that justifies the “doesn't really ever occupy my mind as a problem” statement being criticized upthread. You can’t compare C to Rust-without-references because no one writes Rust that way. It’s not like C++-without-exceptions which is a legitimate subset that people use.
