But is it maybe time we reconsider this or add an extension? It’s really 
getting out of hand now.

Problem with compiler switches is that they’re decoupled from the program 
itself and not documented in the actual programs source code. Honestly I’d 
prefer all compiler switches be stored in the program file so we didn’t have 
distribute extra files that contain command line arguments.
