-OLD COMMENT:
-
-Nota Bene!  @mainIO@ is written as an explicit function, rather than
-by saying: @mainIO = requestToIO main@ so that the code generator
-recognises @mainIO@ as a {\em function} (hence HNF, hence not
-updatable), rather than a zero-arity CAF (hence updatable).  If it is
-updated, then we have a mega-space leak, because the entire action
-(@requestToIO main@) is retained indefinitely.
-
-(This doesn't waste work because @mainIO@ is only used once.)
