I strongly recommend people to always keep bounds checking 
enabled in real world programs because it is so useful in keeping 
programs sane. Specific parts of the code might disable it via 
`.ptr`, but the command line switch is dangerous and I can't 
recommend anyone to use it... ever.

We should run benchmarks with bounds checking enabled to better 
reflect real world results. Yes, it might "lose" to C, but we'll 
be the ones laughing when the C program crashes with yet another 
buffer overrun or when it's milliseconds in execution time lead 
to days of debug time and a multi-million dollar business loss 
when an unchecked pointer leads to a security breech.
