Of course it's expected; that's why I'm saying it's a completely insane
pattern.
Code quality without optimisations is extremely important, for the reasons
I said above; debugability, breakability, stepability.
If you abandon debug code quality, you end up with rust; completely
unworkable, with no tools except printf like it's 1980-something.

The amount of time you spend working on debug code vs release code is like
10,000:1. Optimisation quality is important obviously, but debug code
quality should never be overlooked.
