For optimization options, I want the defaults to be what will make
compiling fastest and running under the debugger easiest. The reason is
that I do far more compiles during code & testing phases than I do after
delivery. During those early phases, I don't particularly care that the
code isn't running as fast as it can. (That also means the fact that
"-g" isn't a default in Gnat is quite annoying.)
Once final testing begins, the options used need to be carefully
selected for the application, and are quite unlikely to match any
default the vendor would choose anyway. Oftentimes I'll even go with
debug symbols and minimal optimization in the final product, for ease of
maintanence.
