Which is a very reasonable assumption for an optimizer. Every major compiler has switches to turn that behavior off. I'd be sympathetic to an argument that perhaps those switches should be on by default, but if you change the language standard, you're essentially saying entire classes of optimizations should be outright prohibited by a conformant compiler, with no programmer control. That's a classic case of throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
