This could be very useful, but I think it needs to overcome
some of these limitations:
;; This is a simplistic implementation that does not allow any access to
;; files or buffers or global variables.
Why not allow read-access to files, buffers and global variables?
;; 2. It's a symbol with the `side-effect-free' property, defined by the
;; byte compiler or user. We extend the meaning of this property:
;; value nil indicates that the function or macro has side effects
;; but is otherwise safe.
I think it would be cleaner to use a different property for that
purpose.
;; 3. It's a member of list `unsafep-disable', so the user says it's safe.
How about renaming that to `safe-function'.
;; A lexical binding is unsafe if its symbol:
Emacs Lisp does not have lexical bindings, so what does that
really refer to?
;; A target variable is unsafe if:
What is a "target variable"?
