+ <p>An optimization that avoided allocation of a stack
+ frame for some <c>case</c> expressions was introduced in
+ OTP 21. (ERL-504/OTP-14808) It turns out that in rare
+ circumstances, this optimization is not safe. Therefore,
+ this optimization has been disabled.</p>
+ <p>A similar optimization will be included in OTP 22 in a
+ safe way.</p>
