This is why I hate the -debug flag. Its name causes too much confusion. _All_
that -debug does or will ever do is enable debug {} blocks. It has _nothing_
to do with release builds vs debug builds other than the fact that odds are
you're going to want to use -debug with debug builds and not release builds.
If integer overflow were enabled for "debug" builds it would be enabled when
-release wasn't use - the same as assertions or when a specific flag was used
to
enable it.
