I'm in favor of concept checking being on by default, period. It should
take a special effort to turn it off. The only reason I know ever to
turn it off is to be able to compile buggy code that another compiler
failed to flag. It doesn't affect execution time, or code generation,
although in principle it could improve code generation given a smarter
optimizer.
What is the policy for the core language as regards accepting known-bad
constructs?
