Comment(by simonpj):
OK I have verified that the changes to the occurrence analyser (above)
make essentially zero different to nofib numbers. It's a very worthwhile
simplification, because it completely gets rid of the `getProxies` stuff
that was eating all the time before.
Alas, compiling W2 is still non-linear. Here's the allocation by the
stage-2 compiler
* 50 fields: 1.01 Gbyte
* 100 fields: 2.98 Gbyte
* 200 fields: 9.64 Gbyte
This is after including the improvements to the derived `Read` code in
#7450.
So something is still wrong. Need to do some profilling to find out.
There are some very deeply nested lambdas, which lead to SRTs of ever-
increasing size, so there is definitely a quadratic effect there. But I'm
not sure that is all.
