 Currently the `-fopt-coercions` flag finds its way to
 `OptCoercion.optCoercion` by way of the terrible `unsafeGlobalDynFlags`.
 In general it's nice to minimize the uses of `unsafeGlobalDynFlags`.
 However, it's not entirely clear that passing a `DynFlags` to
 `optCoercion` is worthwhile in this case as `-fopt-coercion` is
 essentially a debug flag. Leaving this here for later consideration.
