[Chicken-hackers] Making -scrutinize the default?

[Peter Bex]

Hi all,

The scrutinizer has been tested a lot by now and I think it provides
useful warnings.  Especially when it comes to deprecated stuff, it's
very useful to know when you're using stuff that will disappear in
the next release (case in point: the recent massive salmonella breakage
with master).

I believe it's been suggested before, but I still think it would be
a good idea to make -scrutinize the default.  You'd get all of the
benefits of type checking, but none of the risky optimizations that
-specialize offers.  I haven't seen bogus warnings from the scrutinizer
in quite a while.

Thoughts?  Opinions?

Cheers,
Peter
