+Comment about analyseCont
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+We want to avoid inlining an expression where there can't possibly be
+any gain, such as in an argument position. Hence, if the continuation
+is interesting (eg. a case scrutinee, application etc.) then we
+inline, otherwise we don't.
+
+Previously some_benefit used to return True only if the variable was
+applied to some value arguments. This didn't work:
+
+ let x = _coerce_ (T Int) Int (I# 3) in
+ case _coerce_ Int (T Int) x of
+ I# y -> ....
+
+we want to inline x, but can't see that it's a constructor in a case
+scrutinee position, and some_benefit is False.
+
+Another example:
+
+dMonadST = _/\_ t -> :Monad (g1 _@_ t, g2 _@_ t, g3 _@_ t)
+
+.... case dMonadST _@_ x0 of (a,b,c) -> ....
+
+we'd really like to inline dMonadST here, but we *don't* want to
+inline if the case expression is just
+
+ case x of y { DEFAULT -> ... }
+
+since we can just eliminate this case instead (x is in WHNF). Similar
+applies when x is bound to a lambda expression. Hence
+contIsInteresting looks for case expressions with just a single
+default case.
+

+analyseCont :: InScopeSet -> SimplCont

+ Bool, -- Context of the result of the call is interesting
+ Bool) -- There was an InlinePlease
+
+analyseCont in_scope cont
+ = case cont of
+ -- The "lone-variable" case is important. I spent ages
+ -- messing about with unsatisfactory varaints, but this is nice.
+ -- The idea is that if a variable appear all alone
+ -- as an arg of lazy fn, or rhs Stop
+ -- as scrutinee of a case Select
+ -- as arg of a strict fn ArgOf
+ -- then we should not inline it (unless there is some other reason,
+ -- e.g. is is the sole occurrence).
+ -- Why not? At least in the case-scrutinee situation, turning
+ -- case x of y -> ...
+ -- into
+ -- let y = (a,b) in ...
+ -- is bad if the binding for x will remain.
+ --
+ -- Another example: I discovered that strings
+ -- were getting inlined straight back into applications of 'error'
+ -- because the latter is strict.
+ -- s = "foo"
+ -- f = \x -> ...(error s)...
+
+ -- Fundamentally such contexts should not ecourage inlining becuase
+ -- the context can ``see'' the unfolding of the variable (e.g. case or a RULE)
+ -- so there's no gain.
+ --
+ -- However, even a type application isn't a lone variable. Consider
+ -- case $fMonadST @ RealWorld of { :DMonad a b c -> c }
+ -- We had better inline that sucker! The case won't see through it.
