That's not safe because there are always opaque modules that are binary
only. They may derive from the class in the module - and the optimizer
cannot prove they don't.
Hardly any programmers are knowledgeable enough about compiler
optimizations to be comfortable using unsafe optimizations correctly.
Most of the time, you just get mad users and and a reputation for a
"buggy" optimizer.
