Flags such as -O are specifically not supposed to change program 
behaviour. This being the case would completely discard that and 
allow code to be compiled only with a single compiler. Honestly, 
I think expecting that code to be allowed to use @nogc is a huge 
mistake and disagree with editing the DIP to include this solely 
because you decided it should.
