I'm only really worried by the safety declarations. It should be a
choice from the user to reduce safety, even for well-tested code.

Why not let the user choose it when in production?

I can understand the rationale for declaring them so optimized. Are
there numbers about the speed difference with and without optimizations?

Curiously,
