But all that data is already tainted. I'm not seeing anything in your list of examples that isn't already tainted by the time your program gets it. That's why I don't see taint() as being useful except in test cases where you have to make fake tainted data.

    Ah, taint() as a function! Sorry, I must've misread. I thought the topic was the taint pragma.

    Yes, I'd have to agree it'd kinda silly to taint data manually outside of testing.
