-S- disables all the -S options, regardless of where the second -  
appears (like -O- disables all -O options). This can indeed be  
confusing, since e.g. -Cor- turns on overflow checking, but disables  
range checking. This is indeed not consistent. Both cases work as  
designed, but the design is obviously not optimal.
