Well, it doesn't have to be built into the interpreter: a -w switch 
could trigger its loading as a library, which means the interpreter 
binary itself doesn't need to get any heavier (which is an important 
concern).  And this way, it would be trivial to compile the 
interpreter itself without the codepaths that activate the -w option 
for situations where one wants a super-light interpteter (embedding) 
and the -w option isn't needed.

This would give the user an immediate way to access it (-w) without 
the interpreter bloating up at all.

Cheers,
