Sure. The RM does not say how long it takes to, say, do an assignment
on an integer variable. But if it took three weeks, any program doing
integer assignment would be useless. We have to trust the compiler to
be sane enough to generate reasonable code for that assignment, even
though the RM doesn't *require* it.
