The guts of the simplifier is in this module, but the driver loop for
the simplifier is in SimplCore.lhs.


-----------------------------------------
        *** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
-----------------------------------------
The simplifier used to guarantee that the output had no shadowing, but
it does not do so any more.   (Actually, it never did!)  The reason is
documented with simplifyArgs.


-----------------------------------------
        *** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
-----------------------------------------
Many parts of the simplifier return a bunch of "floats" as well as an
expression. This is wrapped as a datatype SimplUtils.FloatsWith.

All "floats" are let-binds, not case-binds, but some non-rec lets may
be unlifted (with RHS ok-for-speculation).



-----------------------------------------
        ORGANISATION OF FUNCTIONS
-----------------------------------------
simplTopBinds
  - simplify all top-level binders
  - for NonRec, call simplRecOrTopPair
  - for Rec,    call simplRecBind


        ------------------------------
simplExpr (applied lambda)      ==> simplNonRecBind
simplExpr (Let (NonRec ...) ..) ==> simplNonRecBind
simplExpr (Let (Rec ...)    ..) ==> simplify binders; simplRecBind

        ------------------------------
simplRecBind    [binders already simplfied]
  - use simplRecOrTopPair on each pair in turn

simplRecOrTopPair [binder already simplified]
  Used for: recursive bindings (top level and nested)
            top-level non-recursive bindings
  Returns:
  - check for PreInlineUnconditionally
  - simplLazyBind

simplNonRecBind
  Used for: non-top-level non-recursive bindings
            beta reductions (which amount to the same thing)
  Because it can deal with strict arts, it takes a
        "thing-inside" and returns an expression

  - check for PreInlineUnconditionally
  - simplify binder, including its IdInfo
  - if strict binding
        simplStrictArg
        mkAtomicArgs
        completeNonRecX
    else
        simplLazyBind
        addFloats

simplNonRecX:   [given a *simplified* RHS, but an *unsimplified* binder]
  Used for: binding case-binder and constr args in a known-constructor case
  - check for PreInLineUnconditionally
  - simplify binder
  - completeNonRecX

        ------------------------------
simplLazyBind:  [binder already simplified, RHS not]
  Used for: recursive bindings (top level and nested)
            top-level non-recursive bindings
            non-top-level, but *lazy* non-recursive bindings
        [must not be strict or unboxed]
  Returns floats + an augmented environment, not an expression
  - substituteIdInfo and add result to in-scope
        [so that rules are available in rec rhs]
  - simplify rhs
  - mkAtomicArgs
  - float if exposes constructor or PAP
  - completeBind


completeNonRecX:        [binder and rhs both simplified]
  - if the the thing needs case binding (unlifted and not ok-for-spec)
        build a Case
   else
        completeBind
        addFloats

completeBind:   [given a simplified RHS]
        [used for both rec and non-rec bindings, top level and not]
  - try PostInlineUnconditionally
  - add unfolding [this is the only place we add an unfolding]
  - add arity



Right hand sides and arguments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In many ways we want to treat
        (a) the right hand side of a let(rec), and
        (b) a function argument
in the same way.  But not always!  In particular, we would
like to leave these arguments exactly as they are, so they
will match a RULE more easily.

        f (g x, h x)
        g (+ x)

It's harder to make the rule match if we ANF-ise the constructor,
or eta-expand the PAP:

        f (let { a = g x; b = h x } in (a,b))
        g (\y. + x y)

On the other hand if we see the let-defns

        p = (g x, h x)
        q = + x

then we *do* want to ANF-ise and eta-expand, so that p and q
can be safely inlined.

Even floating lets out is a bit dubious.  For let RHS's we float lets
out if that exposes a value, so that the value can be inlined more vigorously.
For example

        r = let x = e in (x,x)

Here, if we float the let out we'll expose a nice constructor. We did experiments
that showed this to be a generally good thing.  But it was a bad thing to float
lets out unconditionally, because that meant they got allocated more often.

For function arguments, there's less reason to expose a constructor (it won't
get inlined).  Just possibly it might make a rule match, but I'm pretty skeptical.
So for the moment we don't float lets out of function arguments either.


Eta expansion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For eta expansion, we want to catch things like

        case e of (a,b) -> \x -> case a of (p,q) -> \y -> r

If the \x was on the RHS of a let, we'd eta expand to bring the two
lambdas together.  And in general that's a good thing to do.  Perhaps
we should eta expand wherever we find a (value) lambda?  Then the eta
expansion at a let RHS can concentrate solely on the PAP case.

simplRecBind is used for
        * recursive bindings only

\begin{code}
simplRecBind :: SimplEnv -> TopLevelFlag
             -> [(InId, InExpr)]
             -> SimplM SimplEnv
simplRecBind env0 top_lvl pairs0
  = do  { let (env_with_info, triples) = mapAccumL add_rules env0 pairs0
        ; env1 <- go (zapFloats env_with_info) triples
        ; return (env0 `addRecFloats` env1) }
        -- addFloats adds the floats from env1,
        -- _and_ updates env0 with the in-scope set from env1
  where
    add_rules :: SimplEnv -> (InBndr,InExpr) -> (SimplEnv, (InBndr, OutBndr, InExpr))
        -- Add the (substituted) rules to the binder
    add_rules env (bndr, rhs) = (env', (bndr, bndr', rhs))
        where
          (env', bndr') = addBndrRules env bndr (lookupRecBndr env bndr)

    go env [] = return env

    go env ((old_bndr, new_bndr, rhs) : pairs)
        = do { env' <- simplRecOrTopPair env top_lvl old_bndr new_bndr rhs
             ; go env' pairs }
\end{code}

simplOrTopPair is used for
        * recursive bindings (whether top level or not)
        * top-level non-recursive bindings

It assumes the binder has already been simplified, but not its IdInfo.

\begin{code}
simplRecOrTopPair :: SimplEnv
                  -> TopLevelFlag
                  -> InId -> OutBndr -> InExpr  -- Binder and rhs
                  -> SimplM SimplEnv    -- Returns an env that includes the binding

simplRecOrTopPair env top_lvl old_bndr new_bndr rhs
  | preInlineUnconditionally env top_lvl old_bndr rhs   -- Check for unconditional inline
  = do  { tick (PreInlineUnconditionally old_bndr)
        ; return (extendIdSubst env old_bndr (mkContEx env rhs)) }

  | otherwise
  = simplLazyBind env top_lvl Recursive old_bndr new_bndr rhs env
        -- May not actually be recursive, but it doesn't matter
\end{code}


simplLazyBind is used for
  * [simplRecOrTopPair] recursive bindings (whether top level or not)
  * [simplRecOrTopPair] top-level non-recursive bindings
  * [simplNonRecE]      non-top-level *lazy* non-recursive bindings

Nota bene:
    1. It assumes that the binder is *already* simplified,
       and is in scope, and its IdInfo too, except unfolding

    2. It assumes that the binder type is lifted.

    3. It does not check for pre-inline-unconditionallly;
       that should have been done already.

\begin{code}
simplLazyBind :: SimplEnv
              -> TopLevelFlag -> RecFlag
              -> InId -> OutId          -- Binder, both pre-and post simpl
                                        -- The OutId has IdInfo, except arity, unfolding
              -> InExpr -> SimplEnv     -- The RHS and its environment
              -> SimplM SimplEnv

                                (tvs, body) | not_lam body -> (tvs,body)
                                            | otherwise    -> ([], rhs)
                not_lam (Lam _ _) = False
                not_lam _         = True
                        -- Do not do the "abstract tyyvar" thing if there's
                        -- a lambda inside, becuase it defeats eta-reduction
                        --    f = /\a. \x. g a x

                     do { rhs' <- mkLam env tvs' (wrapFloats body_env2 body2)
                        ; return (env, rhs') }

                else if null tvs then           -- Simple floating
                     do { tick LetFloatFromLet
                        ; return (addFloats env body_env2, body2) }

                else                            -- Do type-abstraction first
                     do { tick LetFloatFromLet

                        ; rhs' <- mkLam env tvs' body3
                        ; let env' = foldl (addPolyBind top_lvl) env poly_binds
                        ; return (env', rhs') }

        ; completeBind env' top_lvl bndr bndr1 rhs' }
\end{code}

A specialised variant of simplNonRec used when the RHS is already simplified,
notably in knownCon.  It uses case-binding where necessary.

\begin{code}
simplNonRecX :: SimplEnv
             -> InId            -- Old binder
             -> OutExpr         -- Simplified RHS
             -> SimplM SimplEnv

simplNonRecX env bndr new_rhs
  | isDeadBinder bndr   -- Not uncommon; e.g. case (a,b) of b { (p,q) -> p }
  = return env          --               Here b is dead, and we avoid creating
  | otherwise           --               the binding b = (a,b)
  = do  { (env', bndr') <- simplBinder env bndr
        ; completeNonRecX env' (isStrictId bndr) bndr bndr' new_rhs }

completeNonRecX :: SimplEnv
                -> Bool
                -> InId                 -- Old binder
                -> OutId                -- New binder
                -> OutExpr              -- Simplified RHS
                -> SimplM SimplEnv

completeNonRecX env is_strict old_bndr new_bndr new_rhs
  = do  { (env1, rhs1) <- prepareRhs (zapFloats env) new_rhs
        ; (env2, rhs2) <-
                if doFloatFromRhs NotTopLevel NonRecursive is_strict rhs1 env1
                then do { tick LetFloatFromLet
                        ; return (addFloats env env1, rhs1) }   -- Add the floats to the main env
                else return (env, wrapFloats env1 rhs1)         -- Wrap the floats around the RHS
        ; completeBind env2 NotTopLevel old_bndr new_bndr rhs2 }
\end{code}

{- No, no, no!  Do not try preInlineUnconditionally in completeNonRecX
   Doing so risks exponential behaviour, because new_rhs has been simplified once already
   In the cases described by the folowing commment, postInlineUnconditionally will
   catch many of the relevant cases.
        -- This happens; for example, the case_bndr during case of
        -- known constructor:  case (a,b) of x { (p,q) -> ... }
        -- Here x isn't mentioned in the RHS, so we don't want to
        -- create the (dead) let-binding  let x = (a,b) in ...
        --
        -- Similarly, single occurrences can be inlined vigourously
        -- e.g.  case (f x, g y) of (a,b) -> ....
        -- If a,b occur once we can avoid constructing the let binding for them.

   Furthermore in the case-binding case preInlineUnconditionally risks extra thunks
        -- Consider     case I# (quotInt# x y) of
        --                I# v -> let w = J# v in ...
        -- If we gaily inline (quotInt# x y) for v, we end up building an
        -- extra thunk:
        --                let w = J# (quotInt# x y) in ...
        -- because quotInt# can fail.

  | preInlineUnconditionally env NotTopLevel bndr new_rhs
  = thing_inside (extendIdSubst env bndr (DoneEx new_rhs))
-}

----------------------------------
prepareRhs takes a putative RHS, checks whether it's a PAP or
constructor application and, if so, converts it to ANF, so that the
resulting thing can be inlined more easily.  Thus
        x = (f a, g b)
becomes
        t1 = f a
        t2 = g b
        x = (t1,t2)

We also want to deal well cases like this
        v = (f e1 `cast` co) e2
Here we want to make e1,e2 trivial and get
        x1 = e1; x2 = e2; v = (f x1 `cast` co) v2
That's what the 'go' loop in prepareRhs does

\begin{code}
prepareRhs :: SimplEnv -> OutExpr -> SimplM (SimplEnv, OutExpr)
-- Adds new floats to the env iff that allows us to return a good RHS
prepareRhs env (Cast rhs co)    -- Note [Float coercions]
  | (ty1, _ty2) <- coercionKind co       -- Do *not* do this if rhs has an unlifted type
  , not (isUnLiftedType ty1)            -- see Note [Float coercions (unlifted)]
  = do  { (env', rhs') <- makeTrivial env rhs
        ; return (env', Cast rhs' co) }

prepareRhs env0 rhs0
  = do  { (_is_val, env1, rhs1) <- go 0 env0 rhs0
        ; return (env1, rhs1) }
  where
    go n_val_args env (Cast rhs co)
        = do { (is_val, env', rhs') <- go n_val_args env rhs
             ; return (is_val, env', Cast rhs' co) }
    go n_val_args env (App fun (Type ty))
        = do { (is_val, env', rhs') <- go n_val_args env fun
             ; return (is_val, env', App rhs' (Type ty)) }
    go n_val_args env (App fun arg)
        = do { (is_val, env', fun') <- go (n_val_args+1) env fun
             ; case is_val of
                True -> do { (env'', arg') <- makeTrivial env' arg
                           ; return (True, env'', App fun' arg') }
                False -> return (False, env, App fun arg) }
    go n_val_args env (Var fun)
        = return (is_val, env, Var fun)
        where
          is_val = n_val_args > 0       -- There is at least one arg
                                        -- ...and the fun a constructor or PAP
                 && (isConLikeId fun || n_val_args < idArity fun)
    go _ env other
        = return (False, env, other)
\end{code}


Note [Float coercions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When we find the binding
        x = e `cast` co
we'd like to transform it to
        x' = e
        x = x `cast` co         -- A trivial binding
There's a chance that e will be a constructor application or function, or something
like that, so moving the coerion to the usage site may well cancel the coersions
and lead to further optimisation.  Example:

     data family T a :: *
     data instance T Int = T Int

     foo :: Int -> Int -> Int
     foo m n = ...
        where
          x = T m
          go 0 = 0
          go n = case x of { T m -> go (n-m) }
                -- This case should optimise

Note [Float coercions (unlifted)]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BUT don't do [Float coercions] if 'e' has an unlifted type.
This *can* happen:

     foo :: Int = (error (# Int,Int #) "urk")

If do the makeTrivial thing to the error call, we'll get

But 'v' isn't in scope!

These strange casts can happen as a result of case-of-case

completeBind
  * deals only with Ids, not TyVars
  * takes an already-simplified binder and RHS
  * is used for both recursive and non-recursive bindings
  * is used for both top-level and non-top-level bindings

It does the following:
  - tries discarding a dead binding
  - tries PostInlineUnconditionally
  - add unfolding [this is the only place we add an unfolding]
  - add arity

It does *not* attempt to do let-to-case.  Why?  Because it is used for
  - top-level bindings (when let-to-case is impossible)
  - many situations where the "rhs" is known to be a WHNF
                (so let-to-case is inappropriate).

Nor does it do the atomic-argument thing

        -- This really happens.  Similarly

\end{code}

Note [Arity decrease]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Generally speaking the arity of a binding should not decrease.  But it *can* 
legitimately happen becuase of RULES.  Eg
        f = g Int
where g has arity 2, will have arity 2.  But if there's a rewrite rule
        g Int --> h
where h has arity 1, then f's arity will decrease.  Here's a real-life example,
which is in the output of Specialise:

     Rec {
        $dm {Arity 2} = \d.\x. op d
        {-# RULES forall d. $dm Int d = $s$dm #-}
        
        dInt = MkD .... opInt ...
        opInt {Arity 1} = $dm dInt

        $s$dm {Arity 0} = \x. op dInt }

Here opInt has arity 1; but when we apply the rule its arity drops to 0.
That's why Specialise goes to a little trouble to pin the right arity
on specialised functions too.

%************************************************************************

The reason for this OutExprStuff stuff is that we want to float *after*
simplifying a RHS, not before.  If we do so naively we get quadratic
behaviour as things float out.

To see why it's important to do it after, consider this (real) example:

        let t = f x
        in fst t
==>
        let t = let a = e1
                    b = e2
                in (a,b)
        in fst t
==>
        let a = e1
            b = e2
            t = (a,b)
        in
        a       -- Can't inline a this round, cos it appears twice
==>
        e1

Each of the ==> steps is a round of simplification.  We'd save a
whole round if we float first.  This can cascade.  Consider

        let f = g d
        in \x -> ...f...
==>
        let f = let d1 = ..d.. in \y -> e
        in \x -> ...f...
==>
        let d1 = ..d..
        in \x -> ...(\y ->e)...

Only in this second round can the \y be applied, and it
might do the same again.

Note [Shadowing]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This part of the simplifier may break the no-shadowing invariant
Consider
        f (...(\a -> e)...) (case y of (a,b) -> e')
where f is strict in its second arg
If we simplify the innermost one first we get (...(\a -> e)...)
Simplifying the second arg makes us float the case out, so we end up with
        case y of (a,b) -> f (...(\a -> e)...) e'
So the output does not have the no-shadowing invariant.  However, there is
no danger of getting name-capture, because when the first arg was simplified
we used an in-scope set that at least mentioned all the variables free in its
static environment, and that is enough.

We can't just do innermost first, or we'd end up with a dual problem:
        case x of (a,b) -> f e (...(\a -> e')...)

I spent hours trying to recover the no-shadowing invariant, but I just could
not think of an elegant way to do it.  The simplifier is already knee-deep in
continuations.  We have to keep the right in-scope set around; AND we have
to get the effect that finding (error "foo") in a strict arg position will
discard the entire application and replace it with (error "foo").  Getting
all this at once is TOO HARD!

Note [Rules for recursive functions]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You might think that we shouldn't apply rules for a loop breaker:
doing so might give rise to an infinite loop, because a RULE is
rather like an extra equation for the function:
     RULE:           f (g x) y = x+y
     Eqn:            f a     y = a-y

But it's too drastic to disable rules for loop breakers.
Even the foldr/build rule would be disabled, because foldr
is recursive, and hence a loop breaker:
     foldr k z (build g) = g k z
So it's up to the programmer: rules can cause divergence

Note [Case elimination]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The case-elimination transformation discards redundant case expressions.
Start with a simple situation:

        case x# of      ===>   e[x#/y#]
          y# -> e

(when x#, y# are of primitive type, of course).  We can't (in general)
do this for algebraic cases, because we might turn bottom into
non-bottom!

The code in SimplUtils.prepareAlts has the effect of generalise this
idea to look for a case where we're scrutinising a variable, and we
know that only the default case can match.  For example:

        case x of
          0#      -> ...
          DEFAULT -> ...(case x of
                         0#      -> ...
                         DEFAULT -> ...) ...

Here the inner case is first trimmed to have only one alternative, the
DEFAULT, after which it's an instance of the previous case.  This
really only shows up in eliminating error-checking code.

We also make sure that we deal with this very common case:

        case e of
          x -> ...x...

Here we are using the case as a strict let; if x is used only once
then we want to inline it.  We have to be careful that this doesn't
make the program terminate when it would have diverged before, so we
check that
        - e is already evaluated (it may so if e is a variable)
        - x is used strictly, or

Lastly, the code in SimplUtils.mkCase combines identical RHSs.  So

        case e of       ===> case e of DEFAULT -> r
           True  -> r
           False -> r

Now again the case may be elminated by the CaseElim transformation.


Further notes about case elimination
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider:       test :: Integer -> IO ()
                test = print

Turns out that this compiles to:
    Print.test
      = \ eta :: Integer
          eta1 :: State# RealWorld ->
          case PrelNum.< eta PrelNum.zeroInteger of wild { __DEFAULT ->
          case hPutStr stdout
                 (PrelNum.jtos eta ($w[] @ Char))
                 eta1
          of wild1 { (# new_s, a4 #) -> PrelIO.lvl23 new_s  }}

Notice the strange '<' which has no effect at all. This is a funny one.
It started like this:

f x y = if x < 0 then jtos x
          else if y==0 then "" else jtos x

At a particular call site we have (f v 1).  So we inline to get

        if v < 0 then jtos x
        else if 1==0 then "" else jtos x

Now simplify the 1==0 conditional:

        if v<0 then jtos v else jtos v

Now common-up the two branches of the case:

        case (v<0) of DEFAULT -> jtos v

Why don't we drop the case?  Because it's strict in v.  It's technically
wrong to drop even unnecessary evaluations, and in practice they
may be a result of 'seq' so we *definitely* don't want to drop those.
I don't really know how to improve this situation.

\end{code}

simplCaseBinder checks whether the scrutinee is a variable, v.  If so,
try to eliminate uses of v in the RHSs in favour of case_bndr; that
way, there's a chance that v will now only be used once, and hence
inlined.

Historical note: we use to do the "case binder swap" in the Simplifier
so there were additional complications if the scrutinee was a variable.
Now the binder-swap stuff is done in the occurrence analyer; see
OccurAnal Note [Binder swap].

Note [zapOccInfo]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the case binder is not dead, then neither are the pattern bound
variables:  
        case <any> of x { (a,b) ->
        case x of { (p,q) -> p } }
Here (a,b) both look dead, but come alive after the inner case is eliminated.
The point is that we bring into the envt a binding
        let x = (a,b)
after the outer case, and that makes (a,b) alive.  At least we do unless
the case binder is guaranteed dead.

Note [Improving seq]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
        type family F :: * -> *
        type instance F Int = Int

        ... case e of x { DEFAULT -> rhs } ...

where x::F Int.  Then we'd like to rewrite (F Int) to Int, getting

        case e `cast` co of x'::Int
           I# x# -> let x = x' `cast` sym co
                    in rhs

so that 'rhs' can take advantage of the form of x'.  Notice that Note
[Case of cast] may then apply to the result.

This showed up in Roman's experiments.  Example:
  foo :: F Int -> Int -> Int
  foo t n = t `seq` bar n
     where
       bar 0 = 0
       bar n = bar (n - case t of TI i -> i)
Here we'd like to avoid repeated evaluating t inside the loop, by
taking advantage of the `seq`.

At one point I did transformation in LiberateCase, but it's more robust here.
(Otherwise, there's a danger that we'll simply drop the 'seq' altogether, before
LiberateCase gets to see it.)

simplAlts does two things:

1.  Eliminate alternatives that cannot match, including the
    DEFAULT alternative.

2.  If the DEFAULT alternative can match only one possible constructor,
    then make that constructor explicit.
    e.g.
        case e of x { DEFAULT -> rhs }
     ===>
        case e of x { (a,b) -> rhs }
    where the type is a single constructor type.  This gives better code
    when rhs also scrutinises x or e.

Here "cannot match" includes knowledge from GADTs

It's a good idea do do this stuff before simplifying the alternatives, to
avoid simplifying alternatives we know can't happen, and to come up with
the list of constructors that are handled, to put into the IdInfo of the
case binder, for use when simplifying the alternatives.

Eliminating the default alternative in (1) isn't so obvious, but it can
happen:

data Colour = Red | Green | Blue

f x = case x of
        Red -> ..
        Green -> ..
        DEFAULT -> h x

h y = case y of
        Blue -> ..
        DEFAULT -> [ case y of ... ]

If we inline h into f, the default case of the inlined h can't happen.
If we don't notice this, we may end up filtering out *all* the cases
of the inner case y, which give us nowhere to go!

Note [Duplicated env]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of the alternatives are simplified, but have not been turned into a join point
So they *must* have an zapped subst-env.  So we can't use completeNonRecX to
bind the join point, because it might to do PostInlineUnconditionally, and
we'd lose that when zapping the subst-env.  We could have a per-alt subst-env,
but zapping it (as we do in mkDupableCont, the Select case) is safe, and
at worst delays the join-point inlining.

Note [Small alternative rhs]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is worth checking for a small RHS because otherwise we
get extra let bindings that may cause an extra iteration of the simplifier to
inline back in place.  Quite often the rhs is just a variable or constructor.
The Ord instance of Maybe in PrelMaybe.lhs, for example, took several extra
iterations because the version with the let bindings looked big, and so wasn't
inlined, but after the join points had been inlined it looked smaller, and so
was inlined.

NB: we have to check the size of rhs', not rhs.
Duplicating a small InAlt might invalidate occurrence information
However, if it *is* dupable, we return the *un* simplified alternative,
because otherwise we'd need to pair it up with an empty subst-env....
but we only have one env shared between all the alts.
(Remember we must zap the subst-env before re-simplifying something).
Rather than do this we simply agree to re-simplify the original (small) thing later.

Note [Funky mkPiTypes]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notice the funky mkPiTypes.  If the contructor has existentials
it's possible that the join point will be abstracted over
type varaibles as well as term variables.
 Example:  Suppose we have
        data T = forall t.  C [t]
 Then faced with
        case (case e of ...) of
            C t xs::[t] -> rhs
 We get the join point
        let j :: forall t. [t] -> ...
            j = /\t \xs::[t] -> rhs
        in
        case (case e of ...) of
            C t xs::[t] -> j t xs

Note [Join point abstaction]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we try to lift a primitive-typed something out
for let-binding-purposes, we will *caseify* it (!),
with potentially-disastrous strictness results.  So
instead we turn it into a function: \v -> e
where v::State# RealWorld#.  The value passed to this function
is realworld#, which generates (almost) no code.

There's a slight infelicity here: we pass the overall
case_bndr to all the join points if it's used in *any* RHS,
because we don't know its usage in each RHS separately

We used to say "&& isUnLiftedType rhs_ty'" here, but now
we make the join point into a function whenever used_bndrs'
is empty.  This makes the join-point more CPR friendly.
Consider:       let j = if .. then I# 3 else I# 4
                in case .. of { A -> j; B -> j; C -> ... }

Now CPR doesn't w/w j because it's a thunk, so
that means that the enclosing function can't w/w either,
which is a lose.  Here's the example that happened in practice:
        kgmod :: Int -> Int -> Int
        kgmod x y = if x > 0 && y < 0 || x < 0 && y > 0
                    then 78
                    else 5

I have seen a case alternative like this:
        True -> \v -> ...
It's a bit silly to add the realWorld dummy arg in this case, making
        $j = \s v -> ...
           True -> $j s
(the \v alone is enough to make CPR happy) but I think it's rare

Note [Duplicating StrictArg]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The original plan had (where E is a big argument)
e.g.    f E [..hole..]
        ==>     let $j = \a -> f E a
                in $j [..hole..]

But this is terrible! Here's an example:
        && E (case x of { T -> F; F -> T })
Now, && is strict so we end up simplifying the case with
an ArgOf continuation.  If we let-bind it, we get
        let $j = \v -> && E v
        in simplExpr (case x of { T -> F; F -> T })
                     (ArgOf (\r -> $j r)
And after simplifying more we get
        let $j = \v -> && E v
        in case x of { T -> $j F; F -> $j T }
Which is a Very Bad Thing

What we do now is this
        f E [..hole..]
        ==>     let a = E
                in f a [..hole..]
Now if the thing in the hole is a case expression (which is when
we'll call mkDupableCont), we'll push the function call into the
branches, which is what we want.  Now RULES for f may fire, and
call-pattern specialisation.  Here's an example from Trac #3116
     go (n+1) (case l of
                 1  -> bs'
                 _  -> Chunk p fpc (o+1) (l-1) bs')
If we can push the call for 'go' inside the case, we get
call-pattern specialisation for 'go', which is *crucial* for 
this program.

Here is the (&&) example: 
        && E (case x of { T -> F; F -> T })
  ==>   let a = E in 
        case x of { T -> && a F; F -> && a T }
Much better!

Notice that 
  * Arguments to f *after* the strict one are handled by 
    the ApplyTo case of mkDupableCont.  Eg
        f [..hole..] E

  * We can only do the let-binding of E because the function
    part of a StrictArg continuation is an explicit syntax
    tree.  In earlier versions we represented it as a function
    (CoreExpr -> CoreEpxr) which we couldn't take apart.

Do *not* duplicate StrictBind and StritArg continuations.  We gain
nothing by propagating them into the expressions, and we do lose a
lot.  

The desire not to duplicate is the entire reason that
mkDupableCont returns a pair of continuations.

Note [Duplicating StrictBind]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unlike StrictArg, there doesn't seem anything to gain from
duplicating a StrictBind continuation, so we don't.

The desire not to duplicate is the entire reason that
mkDupableCont returns a pair of continuations.


Note [Single-alternative cases]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This case is just like the ArgOf case.  Here's an example:
        data T a = MkT !a
        ...(MkT (abs x))...
Then we get
        case (case x of I# x' ->
              case x' <# 0# of
                True  -> I# (negate# x')
                False -> I# x') of y {
          DEFAULT -> MkT y
Because the (case x) has only one alternative, we'll transform to
        case x of I# x' ->
        case (case x' <# 0# of
                True  -> I# (negate# x')
                False -> I# x') of y {
          DEFAULT -> MkT y
But now we do *NOT* want to make a join point etc, giving
        case x of I# x' ->
        let $j = \y -> MkT y
        in case x' <# 0# of
                True  -> $j (I# (negate# x'))
                False -> $j (I# x')
In this case the $j will inline again, but suppose there was a big
strict computation enclosing the orginal call to MkT.  Then, it won't
"see" the MkT any more, because it's big and won't get duplicated.
And, what is worse, nothing was gained by the case-of-case transform.

When should use this case of mkDupableCont?
However, matching on *any* single-alternative case is a *disaster*;
  e.g.  case (case ....) of (a,b) -> (# a,b #)
  We must push the outer case into the inner one!
Other choices:

   * Match [(DEFAULT,_,_)], but in the common case of Int,
     the alternative-filling-in code turned the outer case into
                case (...) of y { I# _ -> MkT y }

   * Match on single alternative plus (not (isDeadBinder case_bndr))
     Rationale: pushing the case inwards won't eliminate the construction.
     But there's a risk of
                case (...) of y { (a,b) -> let z=(a,b) in ... }
     Now y looks dead, but it'll come alive again.  Still, this
     seems like the best option at the moment.

   * Match on single alternative plus (all (isDeadBinder bndrs))
     Rationale: this is essentially  seq.

   * Match when the rhs is *not* duplicable, and hence would lead to a
     join point.  This catches the disaster-case above.  We can test
     the *un-simplified* rhs, which is fine.  It might get bigger or
     smaller after simplification; if it gets smaller, this case might
     fire next time round.  NB also that we must test contIsDupable
     case_cont *btoo, because case_cont might be big!

     HOWEVER: I found that this version doesn't work well, because
     we can get         let x = case (...) of { small } in ...case x...
     When x is inlined into its full context, we find that it was a bad
     idea to have pushed the outer case inside the (...) case.

Note [Single-alternative-unlifted]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's another single-alternative where we really want to do case-of-case:

data Mk1 = Mk1 Int#
data Mk1 = Mk2 Int#

M1.f =
    \r [x_s74 y_s6X]
        case
            case y_s6X of tpl_s7m {
              M1.Mk1 ipv_s70 -> ipv_s70;
              M1.Mk2 ipv_s72 -> ipv_s72;
            }
        of
        wild_s7c
        { __DEFAULT ->
              case
                  case x_s74 of tpl_s7n {
                    M1.Mk1 ipv_s77 -> ipv_s77;
                    M1.Mk2 ipv_s79 -> ipv_s79;
                  }
              of
              wild1_s7b
              { __DEFAULT -> ==# [wild1_s7b wild_s7c];
              };
        };

So the outer case is doing *nothing at all*, other than serving as a
join-point.  In this case we really want to do case-of-case and decide
whether to use a real join point or just duplicate the continuation.

Hence: check whether the case binder's type is unlifted, because then
the outer case is *not* a seq.
