You're missing my point. We can't count that optimizers in all 
implementations will be perfect. I am suggesting language 
features which could provide guarantees to the programmer 
regarding how the code will be compiled. If an implementation 
cannot satisfy them, the programmer should be told so, so he 
could try something else - rather than having to sift through 
disassembler listings or use a profiler.
