My understanding (which could be totally wrong) is that the logic for when to 
emit the level 3 diagnostics rests mostly in the optimizer passes. This is not 
something I think Clang should emulate as it creates a very poor user 
experience in practice (not just with strict aliasing diagnostics -- I don't 
think *any* diagnostics other than remarks should be emitted based on LLVM 
optimization decisions aside from the `error` and `warning` attributes which 
are special circumstances).
