The second you have any `unsafe`, Rust is _by definition_ not memory-safe.
And the majority of the Rust standard library uses `unsafe`.
By that definition, Python is not memory-safe, Java is not memory-safe, Go is not memory-safe, and so on. All of these languages contain escape hatches to do memory-unsafe stuff, yet no one is calling them memory unsafe.
