When I read between the lines, this section says to me: "Yes, Nim is unsafe, but there are features on the way to help it be more safe."

'not nil' sounds like a great addition to the language, but what if you wanted that to be the default behavior without having to pepper it throughout every variable in your codebase?

Well the biggest concern for most is null pointers, so invoking not nil on the pointers would suffice for most
