+-- Implementation note: its strictness and unfolding are over-ridden
+-- by the definition in MkId.lhs; in both cases to nothing at all.
+-- That way, 'lazy' does not get inlined, and the strictness analyser
+-- sees it as lazy. Then the worker/wrapper phase inlines it.
+-- Result: happiness

+-- | The call '(inline f)' reduces to 'f', but 'inline' has a BuiltInRule
+-- that tries to inline 'f' (if it has an unfolding) unconditionally
+-- The 'NOINLINE' pragma arranges that inline only gets inlined (and
+-- hence eliminated) late in compilation, after the rule has had
+-- a god chance to fire.
