What is the intended usage of this option? I'm in no way trying to be
facetious; I'm just curious. Is this something that we could fold in
with --help? Does it make sense to distinguish "optimizers" from
"warnings"? What about things like -fuse-cxa-atexit, which isn't really
an optimization, but which it might also be nice to see an
enabled/disabled flag for?
Thanks,
