No, what *you* (and others) have asked for is to special case the
removal of an unused string when optimizing.
I agree with their decision about this.
Especially since there exists an attribute (and probably a pragma) to
handle this behavior.
The gcc folks have become increasingly prickly about special casing
behavior that they don't have to because it almost always leads to bugs.
