pragma works on an individual line of code if you like, and sometimes help
with ICE (Internal Compiler Error) type errors.
In practice it wont have much performance impact, as long as you enable
optimization on the rest of the function/source, so if you prefer not wait
for Intel to fix the bug, you can still get valid benchmarks etc.
It also helps narrow it down for the compiler guys.
Best of luck.  I'll be interested in your results.
