From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   safe
  
      A safe program analysis is one which will not reach invalid
      conclusions about the behaviour of the program.   This may
      involve making safe approximations to properties of parts of
      the program.   A safe approximation is one which gives less
      information.
  
      For example, strictness analysis aims to answer the question
      "will this function evaluate its argument"?.   The two possible
      results are "definitely" and "don't know".   A safe
      approximation for "definitely" is "don't know".   The two
      possible results correspond to the two sets: "the set of all
      functions which evaluate their argument" and "all functions".
      A set can be safely approximated by another which contains it.
