C++ compilers also have a switch, like -fno-rtti, for
de-activating RTTI. BetterC seems like a combination of several
pieces of underlying functionality. There is not yet any ability
to have any kind of granularity. For instance,
-betterC=[flag]
where [flag] might be something like "off-dassert" which calls
the C assert function instead of the D one.
