Ah, OK - sorry I mistested some things when I was thinking about that.

Might be worth fleshing this out somehow to observe some behavior? I'm not sure 
exactly how - not like we'd generally test other memory optimizations we might 
make without a flag to opt into them. But perhaps a simple Hello World, maybe 
with some optimizations applied (so making this one of those rare "actually 
check it going through some optimizations" - I guess ever -O0 with an 
always_inline function or the like to demonstrate that the optimizations were 
applied, etc)

Can't think of much else that wouldn't just be obnoxious in terms of memory 
usage - oh, unless there's some way to set an artificially low memory limit 
(some other tests might do this - clang/test/PCH/leakfiles.test puts a low 
ulimit for instance - some lldb and compiler-rt tests also set ulimits of 
various kinds to observe failures). An A/B test - showing some modest example 
hitting the memory limit without the flag, but passing with the flag, could be 
nice to have.
