And `unsafe` with `yolo`.

`sus` fits with unsafe better I think.

Currently the term "unsafe" is overloaded, as both the keyword used to mark definitions of things that require manual verification, and as the keyword used to mark a block to acknowledge that such verification has been done.

The correct approach is obviously to separate these two terms, and use "sus" to mark items that require verification, and "yolo" to mark that such verification has been done. Or:

    sus fn dangerous() { ... }
    
    yolo { dangerous() } // can only call dangerous inside a yolo block

also three letter shorter, so a definite improvement.

I do not think we can trust a computer to decide whether something is true or false. These kinds of august deliberations are best left to the new Disinformation Governance Board!

All programs contain bugs and cosmic rays can flip bits at any time so it's nonsensical to trust boolean expressions. Therefore we should rename true/false to likely/unlikely.
