Comment (by guest):

 re: your last two paragraphs.  I'd like to be able to compile with -O for
 the sake of the other parts of the module.  Maybe GHC can detect when
 there's a large literal that it shouldn't try to optimize with?  Or maybe
 a code writer could annotate it with NOINLINE or some other pragma that
 tells GHC not to try to waste time optimizing it? (perhaps as if it were
 in a separate module that were compiled with -O0... Actually putting it in
 a separate module would be an especial nuisance for a tool like Alex to
 generate).  But I guess I don't have an urgent problem here.
