DeVault: Announcing the Hare programming language

> Surely you mean `-fstrict-aliasing` here.

Heh. I had a suspicion this would come up. The 'strict' in the compiler option refers to how strictly the compiler's alias analysis adheres to the standard. My use of 'strict' was referring to how many transformations are allowed by the standard. Wish I could have explained better.

Indeed, but even so we don't have to disable all possible optimisations like the post I'm replying to is implying, while free() is routinely implemented in C.
