Please go file a bug report for every other high performance
optimizing compiler or recognize that it can be user selectable. GCC
should not be forced to operate with one hand tied behind its back to meet
some idealized purity test. The world of language lawyers and the world
of most common programmers do not always intersect cleanly.
Some users prioritize exact semantics and some users prioritize
performance. Where GCC can, it should give users the choice.
