The experience with dealing with string concat bugs tells me we better leave at
least one strategy
as the fallback. It does not have to be very optimized, but it needs to be
definitely correct. BC_SB
seems to fit the bill here.
Do you have any example of a case when one of the fallbacks was used to
work around any issues? We've heard of no such case.
BC_SB has a rather intricate dependency on ASM, and recent stabilization
work done to the default strategy will need to be duplicated. If we were
to keep a fallback (which I don't think we actually need), I'd prefer
keeping either MH_SB_SIZED or MH_SB_SIZED_EXACT.
