Actually, if I were an external contributor and got told that, I'd
probably go find something else to work on.

Please, let's keep in mind that external contributors are mostly
volunteers, which usually means that they have limited time.

And frankly, the return on investment for tracking down an obscure,
undocumented compiler option seems pretty low to me.  There's no
guarantee the information will be useful 6 months from now (or whenever
it is we move to Studio 12).

If you don't believe you're authorized to tell Shawn something, that's
fine; you don't have to tell him.  But let's not expect our volunteers
to reverse-engineer our tools.  There are much better things for them to
spend their time on.
