I think I must be misunderstanding something here.

The default for clang is to compile without optimisation - this benefits the 
compile-edit-debug cycle, by providing output that is closest to the original 
source, and quickest to compile.

The user should not be expecting any optimisations to be applied unless they 
supply `-ON` (n fact, they might we complain if we optimise something that 
makes debugging harder).

So, we should try to ensure that adding modules supports that model - and 
provides the quickest and closest to the original sources for the default 
options.  If the user wants better optimisation (at the expense of longer 
compile times), then they provide `-ON`, right?
