--- To add a new primop, you currently need to update the following files:
---
---	- this file (ghc/compiler/prelude/primops.txt.pp), which includes
---	  the type of the primop, and various other properties (its
---	  strictness attributes, whether it is defined as a macro
---	  or as out-of-line code, etc.)
---
---	- if the primop is inline (i.e. a macro), then:
---	  	ghc/compiler/AbsCUtils.lhs (dscCOpStmt)
---		  defines the translation of the primop into simpler
---		  abstract C operations.
---		
---	- or, for an out-of-line primop:
---	        ghc/includes/StgMiscClosures.h (just add the declaration)
---		ghc/rts/PrimOps.cmm     (define it here)
---		ghc/rts/Linker.c       (declare the symbol for GHCi)
