I wanted to ensure that the `-O` flag doesn't really do anything more than remove assert statement and make `__debug__` equal `False`. But the documentation for `-O` doesn't cover it: https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-O https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONOPTIMIZE It just says "basic optimizations". Are there any other optimizations except the two I mentioned?
