 which trigger exceptions like division by zero, overflow, underflow, etc,
 the following flag will produce diagnostics for what triggered that
 exception.

+With this flag immediate vector literals which only ever appear as function
+parameters won't be stored as vector immediates. Instead, the 3 floats making
+up the vector will be copied separately. Essentially this turns a vector-store
+instruction into 3 float-store instructions for such cases. This increases
+code size but can dramatically reduce the amount of vector globals, which is
+after all limited to 64k. There's at least one known codebase where this
+lowers the number of globals from over 80k down to around 3k. In other code
+bases it doesn't reduce the globals at all but only increases code size.
+Just try it and see whether it helps you.
