#1563: -Onot is not described in the GHC User's Guide, Version 6.6.1

----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
The GHC optimization option -Onot is not described in the current (Version
6.6.1) GHC User's Guide, but it is nevertheless used, for example in
mk/build.mk.sample in the GHC darcs repository. I would expect some
description of -Onot in
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/options-
optimise.html and a summary in
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/flag-
reference.html. Interestingly, I have found this description in an earlier
version of the User's Guide
(http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/2.10/users_guide/user_26.html):
`-Onot':
This option will make GHC "forget" any -Oish options it has seen so
far. Sometimes useful; for example: `make all EXTRA_HC_OPTS=-Onot'.
But what this really means, I am not sure.
