+Note [Inlining index]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+We inline the 'index' operation,
+
+ * Partly because it generates much faster code
+ (although bigger); see Trac #1216
+
+ * Partly because it exposes the bounds checks to the simplifier which
+ might help a big.
+
+If you make a per-instance index method, you may consider inlining it.
+
+Note [Out-of-bounds error messages]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The default method for 'index' generates hoplelessIndexError, because
+Ix doesn't have Show as a superclass. For particular base types we
+can do better, so we override the default method for index.
