I've done it, but not much recently. Even computationally intensive programs 
like my Solitare solver only needed it in a couple of very limited 
locations. And in the most recent such cases, I restructured the code (and 
admittedly, made the compiler smarter) so that the checks aren't generated 
in the first place -- which is of course the best of both worlds -- fast 
code which the compiler has proved to have no check failures.
