Task safety is not a type property. Even for a tagged type an unsafe
operation can be defined later on. For non-tagged types it is even less
clear which operations must be safe and which not.

Furthermore, task-safety cannot be inherited or composed. At least not
without massive overhead to prevent deadlocking when two safe types meet as
mutable parameters of a safe subprogram.

And, just how this contract is supposed to be verified?
