Yes. I am seriously claiming that. The smiley is there to say "Gee, I bet

If I was intentionally tweaking you, I'd use a winky face. :-)

C, for one. Any of the usually-safe languages that specifically bypass the
safety features, like Ada using unchecked features or Eiffel with the
precondition checking compiled out.
