Bushnell is right.  There's nothing wrong with having heavy duty
optimizations.  Just because you have to use them with caution
doesn't mean they shouldn't be available.  The problem of compiler
complexity is a problem for those developing/maintaining it, not
necessarily for those using it, modulo compile time and you can
get some of that back by backing off the optimization level.
If I had to support GCC I'ld go nuts but as long as someone else is
willing to, why not?  Luckily dhog doesn't have to worry as much
about pulling his hair out.

Having a license that encourages gobs of people to work on
components of the system is nice.  I wish we had such a license
to find out if it is indeed the license that causes that
and not some inherent attraction of the code or system.
A pity that we're held hostage by a lawyer.
