   * Improve the Specialiser, fixing Trac #4203

   Simply fixing #4203 is a tiny fix: in case alterantives we should
   do dumpUDs *including* the case binder.

   But I realised that we can do better and wasted far too much time
   implementing the idea.  It's described in
       Note [Floating dictionaries out of cases]
 }}}

 If we want to fix 6.12 as well there's a much simpler fix, but I don't
 think we plan another 6.12 release, so I have not done that.  Meanwhile
 I'll close it.

 Simon
