What? No it's not.

It's equivalent to `-check=invariant=off -check=in=off 
-check=out=off -check=bounds=safeonly -check=assert=off 
-check=switch=off` (and what Nicholas pointed out).

`-O` and `-inline` are orthogonal to `-release` (and to each 
other).

(But the rest of your post makes sense with that in mind so I 
think that may have been what you meant?)
