fns with prim args/return support already do this. When not used higher
order if the compiler can infer the right interface to use at a call site
it will use it. Otherwise it calls the generic version.

To be clear there is no "unboxing". If something becomes boxed, it must be
manually unboxed by you.

As far needing to recompile callers of changed prim fns I think this is a
case of c'est la vie until someone volunteers to fix it (if that's
possible).
