Recently I had been confused by its name starting with "--no...." and
used it the opposite way that I intended (disable all optimizations).
Re-reading the docs cleared doubts, apologies for having reported a
non-existent bug about it.

I believe it may still be useful in careful hands, maybe renamed to
"--enable-unsafe-skipjtbound" or similar, a name that conveys the fact
that:

- optimization is off by default
- optimization is "unsafe" if turned on, i.e. not all legitimate C
  code is compatible with it

On the other side it's probably some maintainance and documentation
burden for modest benefits, so I won't object if it gets removed.

Cheers, 

Andrea
