Call me crazy, but I always felt compilers were there to emit code that
reflected what I wrote, not what it thinks it can do a better job writing
for me. People complain that Go is not a good systems language due to the
garbage collector. Maybe C isn't a good language due to all the places
where optimizers are allowed to break code.
