I don't know what all that means exactly (especially since GHC's demand
signatures have changed recently in a way I don't understand at all). But
for hiding divergence, one option is to use a module with demand analysis
disabled. Try {-# options_ghc -fno-strictness #-}. You'll likely need to
put oops in its own module to avoid interfering with desired optimizations.
