The non-strict versions also panic by default, but only in debug mode. So if you were willing to use abs() you should be willing to use strict_abs().

Arguably a bit of a mistake to have the "obvious" function names be surprisingly unsafe, but I guess it's too late to fix that.

I think this is where safety and performance are actually in conflict.

I think guaranteeing a panic leads to much worse code gen in this case.

Yes that's true, but the point is you should have to opt in to surprising or risky behaviour.
