Comment(by simonpj):
Well, if `go_s1gC` was externally visible (via the interface file), then
its RULE ''could'' still fire. But if it's not exported, it can't. So
* `CoreTidy` could discard RULES and unfoldings for non-externally-
visible things
* `CoreTidy` could run the occurrence analyser to drop code thereby shown
to be dead
But that still doesn't account for some programs allocating more and
running slower.
