the breakage [...] would be very limited indeed
even limited breakage is unacceptable. an optimizer operates under a
sort of hippocratic oath -- don't make things worse!
if i as a user wrote (quote ...), that means i intend ... to be my
domain of play, not that of the byte compiler/optimizer/whatever.
if i wanted to expose something in ... to be non-opaque i would use
quasiquote.
what you propose to do would result in me not trusting (quote ...).
that's not good for my relationship w/ elisp.
