6. A new #Swift feature: `@ working`. All code that’s working will need to be marked with @ working. Any code that is not marked with @ working cannot be called by @ working code unless it is in an unsafe block. If unmarked code calls @ working code, an uncatchable exception is thrown to terminate the app. If @ working code calls non-working code outside of an unsafe block (can happen if you trick the compiler), the app runs forever.
