I agree, this would be useful. Another one I would like is auto-vectorization, a way to mark a loop with an attribute and if it fails to auto-vectorize, the compiler should print out the auto-vectorization report for that loop, explaining why it happened. It's such a brittle optimization, but it's crucial for a tiny number of extremely hot loops, you would want to know if it failed due to some code change or compiler upgrade. Also, it's just a pain to use auto-vectorization report normally.
