So, I was thinking about this a little... Native compilers usually want the pretty verbose stuff and can usually pay the price. Cross compilers as a class, are less able to pay the price. Maybe we want to default based merely on target != host? I know in my cross compiler, I think I'd rather turn it off. Not a bug point... but I thought I'd mention it.
