Comment(by LouisWasserman):

 That's about the size of it, although I'd also prefer for -fdicts-strict
 to be a dynamic flag.  There are instances in which letting the dictionary
 stay lazy might be a good idea, and being able to control it at the module
 level instead of the package level would be nice.  (Being able to control
 it for individual dictionaries was the intent of this ticket, but I'd
 personally settle for module-level control.)
