---------------------------------------
	    Rehash the handling of SeqOp
	---------------------------------------

See the comments in the commentary (Cunning Prelude Code).

* Expunge SeqOp altogether

* Add GHC.Base.lazy :: a -> a
  to GHC.Base

* Add GHC.Base.lazy
  to basicTypes/MkId.  The idea is that this defn will over-ride
  the info from GHC.Base.hi, thereby hiding strictness and
  unfolding

* Make stranal/WorkWrap do a "manual inlining" for GHC.Base.lazy
  This happens nicely after the strictness analyser has run.

* Expunge the SeqOp/ParOp magic in CorePrep

* Expunge the RULE for seq in PrelRules

* Change the defns of pseq/par in GHC.Conc to:

	{-# INLINE pseq  #-}
       	pseq :: a -> b -> b
       	pseq  x y = x `seq` lazy y

       	{-# INLINE par  #-}
       	par :: a -> b -> b
       	par  x y = case (par# x) of { _ -> lazy y }
