Description

It would be convenient to have the option to run native quil code without the quil_to_native_quil compilation step executed within measure observables.

(Sohaib's) EDIT: Optionally protect input Quil program against any compiler optimizations when said program is fed into measure_observables

Determine how an option could preserve the input Quil program and prevent compiler optimizations, then verify that the default behavior remains unchanged and that the optional behavior is covered by tests.
