But we already know that Call Arity is not complete, chance are high that it is among the known unsolvable cases (e.g. a recursive call in an argument position). > Good work!

I can do the implementation, including the interface changes, but I am not sure that I’ll be able to investigate each core2core transformation for where oneShot flags might be lost. But the good thing is that we can still deploy the whole thing without regressions and make then iteratively make the compiler better in preserving this bit. > | best keep the oneShot annotation in the unfoldings: The isOneShotLambda > | flag is currently not stored in the interface.

Ok, thanks for guidance. Is https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/OneShot#PreservationofsetOneShotLambdaacrossmoduleboundaries a sensible design?
