I am concerned that we are using 'safe' for two very different meanings: 
'safe' in the sense of SafeHaskell and unsafePerformanceIO and 'safe' in 
the sense of the package 'safe' and your safeenum. For my taste, there is 
no need to coin new terms for partiality and totality. Could we just call 
total functions total instead of safe?
