something like might be better?
On x86-64 @option{-malign-double} is enabled by default.
I think your version is slightly better than Toon's, but I think both
are grammatical and would be understood by native English speakers.
Richard Kenner replied:
Well, except for the missing comma in the second one.
I prefer the second too because "choice" to me tends to imply more
than just enabled or disabled, as if there were more than two choices.
I committed the following (see attached patch).
Is this useful for the 4.1 branch, too ? It isn't a regression, but for
documentation we might want to have more relaxed rules ...
Cheers,
