Development builds are usually not whole-program optimized. And 
proper optimizers work with IR and see no problem in separate 
compilation, it's all transparent. Separate compilation is nice 
for RAM too - good in virtualized environment like a CI service.

This also applies to attribute inference which has become a 
really important development direction to handle growing 
attribute hell.

Depends on code style.
