DFlow Managed language?

This is a silly idea of the day:

So one thing that you see a bit is people implementing their parsing
algorithms (which tend to need to be speedy) in C while the rest of
their logic is in a nice managed language, like C# or Java.

One thing you could do is add a trust level to the data going through
your managed language code, and if the data is trusted, have it go
through the native code, and if not, go through the slower managed code.

Ideally you want this built into the language, not the API, so you can
automatically have it know that data coming from signed emails from
known contacts is "trusted" (or from your local camera) and those jpgs
will automatically load very quickly, whereas data coming from unsigned
emails or web sites is "untrusted" and has to go through the slower
managed code.
