Which to me is a little weird, because only -O is something you can
count on from compiler to compiler. :)

There is one optimization level that, from my viewpoint, guarantees
bad code, and that’s no optimization, which breaks tail recursion. Of
course I realize that tail recursion optimization isn’t guaranteed by
C standards, but maybe tail recursion optimization should be a default
that you have to turn off explicitly. :)
