 Review comment:
   Full inlining is probably sufficient. As you said, there is not much use for 
polymorphic expressions. The time I could see this arising would be with 
massive super schemas that try to parse everything (eg. a dispatch on a files 
magic number) and developed a modular library of components. Even in such a 
schema it seems unlikely, but we have no experience with such schema yet. The 
issue here is that a small change could cause a significant performance 
degradation for hard to debug reasons.
   
   What we might want to do is emit a warning when this situation arises. If 
this turns out to be something people actually want to do we can deal with it 
then. Otherwise, these polymorphic expressions are probably mistakes.
