I agree, but term "unsafe" is less important then fact that developer 
will have only one gcc option to use in release mode. If he is doing 
something "special" (like math-related app) only _then_ he needs to 
learn and tune gcc options. Instead of O3_unsafe it can be O3_non_iso, 
O3_ni, O3ni ... whatever.
