Just to elaborate on the motivation for this change.
I had discovered a compiler bug, where an out-of-bounds access can cause an adjacent, valid access to return zeros (as if it were also out-of-bounds).
In this patch I fix it by disallowing aggressive merges.
At the same time, I provide a target feature to opt out of this conservative behavior and keep the status quo for targets that do not care about strict out-of-bounds behavior. In out-of-bounds scenarios, the default code is correct.
If we do not submit this patch one way or another, the bug will persist.
