If you used a language construct that was illegal all the time,
sooner or later the compilers will (hopefully) catch up with you,
one way or another.  The nice way is an error message, the
not-so-nice way is silently failing. 

An example:

Let's look at argument size mismatches that "worked" on
little-endian systems like a VAX. Should IBM have changed their
compilers for big-endian MVS systems to match what the VAX did?

Should argument mismatches be caught, in your opinion?  (If you
write C, do you use prototypes?)

And most people who care about speed use -Ofast (or whatever)
without knowing or caring what it does :-|
