Comment(by isaacdupree):
As SamAnklesaria noted, where using rebindable syntax, it'll still be
possible to use "case" directly to accomplish primitive "if" / unboxed
results, if both rebindable and unboxed-if are needed in the same module.
SimonPJ, so the base library certainly needs not to implicitly import the
Prelude -- but is it truly okay for it to use non-rebindable syntax? (we
know currently that it compiles and runs correctly with rebindable
syntax.) I guess we'll see.
