Seems to me that programs that strictly meet the standard of the language
they are written in would be more reliable than programs that are written
in some ill-defined language.
In the long run, sure, but during the transition, which can be

the Ada world, we advise many of our big customers to use
-fno-strict-aliasing as a matter of course to avoid similar
aliasing problems in Ada.
