32-bit x86 Position Independent Code - It's that bad https://ewontfix.com/18/ (makes a compelling argument for private-by-default I think)

I'm working on arity errors in Garden, my toy programming language.
Rather than just saying "expected 3, got 4 arguments", I'm trying to report where the extra argument is, or what extra argument was expected.
GNU Make defaults to a single worker, and newer build tools (e.g. ninja) default to the number of physical CPUs.I wish there was an option for 'leave me a little bit of my machine to do stuff'.
When a tool supports both regular expressions and literal strings, which should be the default?
If you default to regex, users can match more strings than they realise (e.g. `foo.txt`) or less (e.g. `foo(bar)`).
I typically see regex as the default, but I prefer the opposite.
