For such a feature, I think being less discoverable is not really a
problem.  I don't think many people use the -O flags currently, and
among those that do I'm curious how many really benefit (as opposed to
seeing that Python has an "optimization" flag and thinking "great, I'm
gonna use that to make my code faster" without ever measuring the
difference).
