It would indeed be a poor optimizer if it wouldn't take all available 
data (=routines) into account. One may easily to do parsing in a 
strictly sequential manner, maybe even type checking (if the language 
is crippled enough to allow that), but optimizing? No way.

PS: whatever happened to the notorious compiler warning 'xyz disables 
strict aliasing rules'? Seems to me as if compilers once were able to 
detect cases where the assumptions broke down. Hmmm.
