Is there anyone respecting this notation? (I know pypy does not, it uses --jit and stuff) CPython does. We introduced it for ourselves, it is up to other implementations whether or not to use it, or use something else. --David

you mean "CPython does not have any implementation-specific options"? I would claim -O behavior should be implementation-specific since it's nonsense in the optimizations sense, but other than that, it does not seem that there is any -X options?
