Sh*t, actually I like that. Of course, there has to be a switch for it, 
but once my code runs without broken pointers (haha, I mean, without arrays out 
of bounds), there should not be a check for it every time I access memery. 
Fine with me.

How about inline assembler? That would do the trick :-)
Btw. is there "inline java bytecode"? That would be cool, too...
