---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 For some reason 'cabal sdist' dislikes fast code so much that it tells me
 not to use -O2.  What does it know about my needs and my project?

 See below for an example:

 {{{
 $ cabal sdist
 Distribution quality warnings:
 'ghc-options: -O2' is rarely needed. Check that it is giving a real
 benefit
 and not just imposing longer compile times on your users.
 }}}

 Is there a way to disable this warning in my .cabal file?  If not, can the
 warning please be removed?  It doesn't seems appropriate for sdist to tell
 me which compiler flags I should use to optimize my code.
