I believe that some parts of the code are compiled with safety 0[1].
That may have made sense back in the early days of maxima, but
computers today are probably 100-1000 times faster with 100-1000 times
more memory, so I see no reason why anything is compiled with safety
0, except, perhaps is some very small parts of the code.
