-------------------------------
	Better notion of what a 'value' is
	Slightly better eta reduction
	-------------------------------

1.  At various places we watch out for "values"; the predicate exprIsValue
detects them. It was stupidly treating nullary constructors as non-values
which is exceptionally stupid.  This (performance) bug has been there
for ages.

There's an exactly similar bug in SimplUtils.interestingArg, which looks
for an interesting argument to trigger an inlining.

2.  The eta reduction in SimplUtils.tryEtaReduce would only eta reduce if
that left us with a variable.  That led to slightly tiresome thing like
	:DMonad (/\a b -> foo @ s @ a @ b) ...
where this would be neater
	:DMonad (foo @ s)
The fix is easy, and there's a little less code too.
