Hello Levo,

please allow me to quote from Nicolai Josuttis‘ „The C++ Standard Library - Second Edition: A Tutorial and Reference [6.12.1 Error Handling]“: The design goal of the STL was best performance rather than highest security. […] If you prefer safety over speed, you can still get it, either by adding wrappers or by using special versions of the STL.

So, I do not see this proposal making it into the C++ standard library - but that‘s just my very personal thought on it.

I've been implementing a compiler that is slowly becoming memory safe so I thought maybe I should submit a series of proposals since I'm already familiar with potential pitfalls, solutions and implementation.

If there's any interest in having this in the standard I'd be happy to write more about this and additional proposals going toward memory safety
