In my uncommitted changes for debugging, I have reorganized the tracing options
along the lines of my proposal of a few weeks ago. In that proposal, this
functionality is achieved by an option called -no-trace-optimized, which
was the default; users can then specify --trace-optimized.

In any case, I don't think that the above message conveys the right message,
since you can easily debug the optimization passes of the compiler without
--trace-optimized.

Zoltan.
