Comment:
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for. It sounds like you might want
one of unsafePerformST (which you can define with unsafeSTToIO and
unsafePerformIO; I don't think there's a particularly good reason it
doesn't exist), rnfM (a monadic variant of rnf which you'd have to
implement), or to solve your problem in a different way.
If you still think there's a need for rnf to be primitive and to behave
differently, please could you give a motivating example? It might be
better to initially discuss the problem on an appropriate mailing list.
Thanks
Ian
