Many decisions on compiler defaults still are based on an unscientific

I'm also quite convinced that we are hampered by the fact that there is
no IPA on alignment in GCC.
I bet that in the average Fortran program, most arrays are suitably
aligned (after all, they're either a - by definition - SAVEd array in a
module, or an ALLOCATEd array), and code that does this:
CALL AAP(..., A(2), ...)
is relatively sparse.
