Comment:
Ok, I've finally reviewed, amended, tested and pushed these patches.
Under normal circumstances we wouldn't push this into the stable branch,
because it constitutes a new feature and makes a minor API change.
However, there is strong demand for this feature, and the API change is
really very minor (a new primop).
Patches to merge: in GHC:
