Exactly, but I'd like to see it done automatically (possibly via a special glyph enabled via crate config?), so that users of this "relaxed rust" don't have to think about ownership at all, but can still participate in the rest of the Rust ecosystem, and there's a clear "off-ramp" to standard rust.

D tried that. The fact that so much of its ecosystem non-optionally depended on the optional garbage collection was part of what killed its chances for adoption beyond "like Java or C#, but without a giant corporation pushing for it".
