optsize != -Os (according to Chandler)
minsize != -Oz (according to Chandler)
optnone != -O0 (according to both me and Chandler)

optnone is not "the way to convey (-O0) to the optimizer."  Please get that misunderstanding out of your head.  Clang handles -O0 by creating a short, minimalist pipeline, and running everything through it.  Clang handles -O2 by creating a fuller optimization pipeline, and functions with 'optnone' skip many of the passes in the pipeline.

These are architecturally different processes, you are not going to be able to make 'optnone' behave exactly like -O0 without major redesign of how the pipelines work.
