If we do enable this or -xauto by default, we should probably also add a
-xnone or similar option to disable the DV checking code.  No one in
their right mind should disable DV checking, but it might be useful if
someone runs into a DV checking bug, and can't figure out how to work
around it except by turning off the DV checking.
