The option name that you used in the code that you actually committed
was `--unneeded-code'.

Personally I think `--optimize-unneeded-code' was much better.
`--unneeded-code' sounds like a pessimization.
And `--no-unneeded-code' sounds very much like it is
enabling an optimization, not disabling one.
