Thank you for context! This was very educational, I understand now. […]
I think minimizing the number of bytes erased ("safe") is the correct default behavior, regardless. A command-line option to instead reduce the number of erases ("quick-n-dangerous", assumed to operate faster but wear flash faster) might be nice, though.
Making that a compile-time option seems like it's easy for a user to configure it to be quick-n-dangerous then unintentionally use that mode later, whereas requiring quick-n-dangerous mode to be opt-in for each invocation (default to safe operation) should prevent any surprises. The choice could also be easily exposed to library users then, too.
