Frankly, I'd warmly back Walter on this one. "Requiring" optimizations

Another problem with specified optimizations is that computer
architectures change, and the right optimizations to use can change
dramatically (and has).
I think that what *would* be useful is *disallowing* optimizations for
certain parts of code...
This is the issue with "implementation defined" behavior. D tries to
minimize that.
Damn. What defines a distance between knowledge and wisdom is often the
ability to say everything with one word (well, at least one sentence) :)
