But there are no guarantees that that will be maintained in the future.
In the past, it has often come back to bite us when we relied on
implementation-dependent behavior in the C library or the compiler,
because no optimization might invalidate old assumptions.
In this particular case, I would for example be quite curious how those
alternative minimal C libraries such as musl-libc handle this.
