There might be one or two undocumented optimisation knobs, but I believe
everything that is actually useful is documented. Anything undocumented
is either broken or experimental.
There isn't a flag to turn off array bounds checking - it would require
compiling against different libraries. There are array operations that
avoid bounds checking, however (eg. unsafeRead, unsafeWrite).
The flags that affect automatic boxing/unboxing are
-funbox-strict-fields and -fno-strictness.
