+Don't generate code to check for violation of exception specifications
+at runtime.  This option violates the C++ standard, but may be useful
+for reducing code size in production builds, much like defining

+exceptions in violation of the exception specifications; the compiler
+will still optimize based on the specifications, so throwing an
+unexpected exception will result in undefined behavior.
