Now that is a good question. My initial goal was to basically shave a
few percents off in text size and get a bit of extra speed, just by
setting a few compiler flags.

I'm happy to put this on the back burner, because it isn't worth
investing a lot of effort into it, but it'd be one item off my list.

It's only enabled for Release builds -- it relies on the optimizer
actually doing something anyway, so Debug builds should be unaffected.
