I'm not sure that we can really assume that "-O0" avoids the behavior
I pointed out. Perhaps this counts as "semantic flattening" or
something, rather than an optimization. I could have easily written
the code in _bt_keep_natts_fast() in the way gcov/gcc/whatever thinks
I ought to have, which would have obscured the distinction anyway.
