> When doing performance- and footprint analysis, `AlwaysPreTouch` option is very handy for reducing noise. It would be good to have a similar option for pre-touching thread stacks. In addition to reducing noise, it can serve as worst-case test for thread costs, as well as a test for NMT regressions.
>
> Patch adds a new diagnostic switch, `AlwaysPreTouchStacks`, as a companion switch to `AlwaysPreTouch`. Touching is super-simple using `alloca()`. Also, regression test.
