I'm afraid "microoptimizations" aren't worth measuring to begin with, since, well, they're "micro" ;-) Seriously, switch compilers, compilation flags, or move to a new release of a single compiler, and a micro-optimization often turns into a micro-pessimization. If I _want_ to measure something unrolled, I'll unroll it myself. But since I almost never want to measure something unrolled anyway, an option to do so would just be "yet another attractive nuisance" to me.
