codegen should ideally not need to know the optimization level

[iritkatriel]

Optimization level is used for things that can be done in ast_opt. I'll try to move them there.

PR merged, closing issue.

There's another usage still to remove.

Thanks, sorry I was too quick with the close button :)

So, the only remaining occurrence of OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL is related to the assert statement.
@iritkatriel, are you currently working on this? If not, can I attempt to fix it?

[iritkatriel]

I have a patch for it. Thanks.

I got as far as I could with this, the assert optimization needs to stay in ast_opt (see discussion on PR).
