Yes, adding common sanitizer flag "print_summary" (off by default in UBSan,
on by default in all the rest sanitizers) sgtm. We should also make sure it
defaults to "on" when UBSan is combined with ASan. I'm not sure that UBSan
has proper support for runtime flags, though, maybe we'll have to implement
this.
