+Note [Arity decrease]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Generally speaking the arity of a binding should not decrease.  But it *can* 
+legitimately happen becuase of RULES.  Eg
+       f = g Int
+where g has arity 2, will have arity 2.  But if there's a rewrite rule
+       g Int --> h
+where h has arity 1, then f's arity will decrease.  Here's a real-life example,
+which is in the output of Specialise:
+
+     Rec {
+       $dm {Arity 2} = \d.\x. op d
+       {-# RULES forall d. $dm Int d = $s$dm #-}
+       
+       dInt = MkD .... opInt ...
+       opInt {Arity 1} = $dm dInt
+
+       $s$dm {Arity 0} = \x. op dInt }
+
+Here opInt has arity 1; but when we apply the rule its arity drops to 0.
+That's why Specialise goes to a little trouble to pin the right arity
+on specialised functions too.

+Nota Bene: We only do the [Improving seq] transformation if the 
+case binder 'x' is actually used in the rhs; that is, if the case

+     just flip-flop.
+
+You might worry about 
+   case v of x { __DEFAULT ->
+      ... case (v `cast` co) of y { I# -> ... }}
+This is a pure seq (since x is unused), so [Improving seq] won't happen.

+   case v of x { __DEFAULT ->
+      ... case (x `cast` co) of y { I# -> ... }}
+Now the outer case is not a pure seq, so [Improving seq] will happen,
+and then the inner case will disappear.
+

-Historical note [no-case-of-case]
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-We *used* to suppress the binder-swap in case expressoins when 
--fno-case-of-case is on.  Old remarks:
-    "This happens in the first simplifier pass,
-    and enhances full laziness.  Here's the bad case:
-            f = \ y -> ...(case x of I# v -> ...(case x of ...) ... )
-    If we eliminate the inner case, we trap it inside the I# v -> arm,
-    which might prevent some full laziness happening.  I've seen this
-    in action in spectral/cichelli/Prog.hs:
-             [(m,n) | m <- [1..max], n <- [1..max]]
-    Hence the check for NoCaseOfCase."
-However, now the full-laziness pass itself reverses the binder-swap, so this
-check is no longer necessary.
-
-Historical note [Suppressing the case binder-swap]
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-There is another situation when it might make sense to suppress the
-case-expression binde-swap. If we have
-
-    case x of w1 { DEFAULT -> case x of w2 { A -> e1; B -> e2 }
-                   ...other cases .... }
-
-We'll perform the binder-swap for the outer case, giving
-
-    case x of w1 { DEFAULT -> case w1 of w2 { A -> e1; B -> e2 }
-                   ...other cases .... }
-
-But there is no point in doing it for the inner case, because w1 can't
-be inlined anyway.  Furthermore, doing the case-swapping involves
-zapping w2's occurrence info (see paragraphs that follow), and that
-forces us to bind w2 when doing case merging.  So we get
-
-    case x of w1 { A -> let w2 = w1 in e1
-                   B -> let w2 = w1 in e2
-                   ...other cases .... }
-
-This is plain silly in the common case where w2 is dead.
-
-Even so, I can't see a good way to implement this idea.  I tried
-not doing the binder-swap if the scrutinee was already evaluated
-but that failed big-time:
-
-        data T = MkT !Int
-
-        case v of w  { MkT x ->
-        case x of x1 { I# y1 ->
-        case x of x2 { I# y2 -> ...
-
-Notice that because MkT is strict, x is marked "evaluated".  But to
-eliminate the last case, we must either make sure that x (as well as
-x1) has unfolding MkT y1.  THe straightforward thing to do is to do
-the binder-swap.  So this whole note is a no-op.
+At one point I did transformation in LiberateCase, but it's more
+robust here.  (Otherwise, there's a danger that we'll simply drop the
+'seq' altogether, before LiberateCase gets to see it.)

-Note [Passing the case binder to join points]
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Suppose we have
-   case e of cb { C1 -> r1[cb]; C2 x y z -> r2[cb,x] }
-and we want to make join points for the two alternatives, 
-which mention the case binder 'cb'.  Should we pass 'cb' to
-the join point, or reconstruct it? Here are the two alternatives 
-for the C2 alternative:
+Note [Case binders and join points]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Consider this 
+   case (case .. ) of c {
+     I# c# -> ....c....
+
+If we make a join point with c but not c# we get
+  $j = \c -> ....c....

 
 

-  Plan A(pass cb):         j2 cb x = r2[cb,x]
+But if later inlining scrutines the c, thus

 
 

-  Plan B(reconstruct cb):  j2 x y z = let cb = C2 x y z in r2[cb,x]
+  $j = \c -> ... case c of { I# y -> ... } ...

 
 

-The advantge of Plan B is that we can "see" the definition of cb
-in r2, and that may be important when we inline stuff in r2.  The
-disadvantage is that if this optimisation doesn't happen, we end up
-re-allocating C2, when it already exists.  This does happen occasionally;
-an example is the function nofib/spectral/cichelli/Auxil.$whinsert.
+we won't see that 'c' has already been scrutinised.  This actually
+happens in the 'tabulate' function in wave4main, and makes a significant
+difference to allocation.

 
 

-Plan B is always better if the constructor is nullary.
+An alternative plan is this:

 
 

-In both cases we don't have liveness info for cb on a branch-by-branch
-basis, and it's possible that 'cb' is used in some branches but not
-others.  Well, the absence analyser will find that out later, so it's
-not too bad.
+   $j = \c# -> let c = I# c# in ...c....

 
 

-Sadly, at the time of writing, neither choice seems an unequivocal
-win. Here are nofib results, for adding -fpass-case-bndr-to-join-points
-(all others are zero effect):
+but that is bad if 'c' is *not* later scrutinised.  

 
 

-        Program           Size    Allocs   Runtime   Elapsed
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-       cichelli          +0.0%     -4.4%      0.13      0.13
-            pic          +0.0%     -0.7%      0.01      0.04
-      transform          -0.0%     +2.8%     -0.4%     -9.1%
-      wave4main          +0.0%    +10.5%     +3.1%     +3.4%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-            Min          -0.0%     -4.4%     -7.0%    -31.9%
-            Max          +0.1%    +10.5%     +3.1%    +15.0%
- Geometric Mean          +0.0%     +0.1%     -1.7%     -6.1%
+So instead we do both: we pass 'c' and 'c#' , and record in c's inlining
+that it's really I# c#, thus
+   
+   $j = \c# -> \c[=I# c#] -> ...c....

 
 

+Absence analysis may later discard 'c'.

+       f E [..hole..]
+       ==>     let a = E
+               in f a [..hole..]
+Now if the thing in the hole is a case expression (which is when
+we'll call mkDupableCont), we'll push the function call into the
+branches, which is what we want.  Now RULES for f may fire, and
+call-pattern specialisation.  Here's an example from Trac #3116
+     go (n+1) (case l of
+                1  -> bs'
+                _  -> Chunk p fpc (o+1) (l-1) bs')
+If we can push the call for 'go' inside the case, we get
+call-pattern specialisation for 'go', which is *crucial* for 
+this program.

+        && E (case x of { T -> F; F -> T })

+  * Arguments to f *after* the strict one are handled by 
+    the ApplyTo case of mkDupableCont.  Eg
+       f [..hole..] E
+
+  * We can only do the let-binding of E because the function
+    part of a StrictArg continuation is an explicit syntax
+    tree.  In earlier versions we represented it as a function
+    (CoreExpr -> CoreEpxr) which we couldn't take apart.
