Actually I have done this, because it does make debugging easier. It
must depend on your compiler whether it complains I guess as I have
not seen that. I do tend to see problems that depend on requiring
particular optimisation to be worth fixing, as they are essentially
portability issues, and may well inconvenience pcc which we do
support, so I would fix it...
