Having said that, revamping those options and our current optimization mechanism is a far cry from just adding -X nopeephole as Ned has implied. While the former may make sense on its own, those broader changes may languish as nice-to-haves. It may be better to go with the latter in the short-term while the broader changes swirl in the maelstrom of discussion indefinitely.
I get distracted (by work...) for the afternoon, and things take an unexpected turn! I definitely did not mean to throw open the floodgates to reconsider the entire -O switch. I agree that the -O switch seems like too much UI for too little change in results, and I think a different set of settings and defaults makes more sense. But I do not suppose that we have much appetite to take on that large a change. For my purposes, an environment variable and no change or addition to the switches would be fine. --Ned
