This reminds me of a thought I had earlier: what if we had a nice list
of functions & programming idioms that are considered insecure, but
unlike lame projects that just forbid them even in special cases where
they're obviously okay, instead require by policy either that they not
be used, or that they be accompanied by a comment explaining why
they're safe in the special case they're used in. (e.g. a comment
before a strcat that sufficient space was allocated 10 lines above, or
before a popen that no input-supplied or -derived data is used in
constructing the command line).
