I don't understand the reasoning behind this. The primary reason you use
-release is to turn off bounds checking, because bounds checking is *really*
slow.
This change would basically make -safe and -release incompatible in practice:
why on earth would you use both?
Up to now, -safe has been entirely about compile-time checks. Here, you're
making it insert runtime checks as well, so that compile-time safety incurs a
run-time penalty. I don't like that at all.
