Has come up a couple of times and it's a good idea to allow more
control over which checks are enabled.
I find the suggested switch levels a bit counter-intuitive and would
suggest
-release=assert,in,out,invariant
to be the equivalent of the current
-release
while allowing to enable any subset
I like the idea of specializing the meaning of the -release flag via
optional arguments.
One suggestion: replace -release=assert with -release=body, so in the
above, you would have:
-release=body,in,out,invariant
... which has the nice intuitive property of specifying _which bits of
code_ release criteria will be applied to.
In other words, -release=body would result in asserts being removed from
function bodies _and only there_. That would make clearer that we're
not removing asserts from e.g. unittests (or indeed contracts or
invariants).
Agreed that looks good +1
