Match rules before inlining
---------------------------
This commit fulfils a long-standing wish by Manuel that RULES
matching occurs before inlining. So if a RULE matches, it'll
get used, even if the function can also be inlined.
It's a bit dodgy to actually rely on this, because maybe the rule
doesn't match *yet* but will do after a bit more transformation.
But it does help with things like class operations. Class ops are
simply selectors which pick a method out of a dictionary, so they
are inlined rather vigorously. But we might want a RULE for a
class method (e.g. (==) [Char] = eqString), and such rules would
practically never fire if inlining took priority.
