"should" is not the same thing as "does". If I have this correct knowing
this and knowing how the bytecode was created would have been helpful. Are
there more bugs of this nature where setting the option has a differening
behavior? Also, I believe there are performance differences and differences
in capabilities. e.g --with-wide-int adds:

and how inside of Emacs is one supposed to know if this is in effect?
