By default, AsmResolver will optimize the #Strings stream for size. This means that strings that are a suffix of another will not be added twice to the buffer, but rather will be referenced using an offset within the longer string. This avoids lots of duplication in the final stream. Setting this flag will disable this optimization.

By default, when adding two embedded resources to a file with identical contents, AsmResolver will not add the second copy of the data to the output file and instead reuse the first blob. This can drastically reduce the size of the final output file. While supported by the .NET runtime, some post-processors (e.g., obfuscators) may not work well with this or depend on individual resource items to be present. Setting this flag will disable this optimization.
