Agreed.  But then we shouldn't force them to choose.  (I'm reminded of
King Meneldur's soliloquy in Tolkien's writings.)

How about all three categories?  Let the user feel relatively secure in
choosing "optimization", and then somebody who knows can fine-tune it.

Alternatively, don't {make,allow} the user choose, if there's no way for
him to get it right.  Leave it "unrefined" until a maintainer can set it.
