Yes but not in (the language formally defined as) Haskell. Not
even in {your favorite Haskell compiler/interpreter} without -O.
With -O by all means let her rip.
Incidentally, GHC's type checker is Turing complete. You
already have as much static evaluation as is practically possible.
You already knew that.

And Haskell (as in the current language definition) does not.
I was talking about Haskell.
Having said that, I'll concede there may be room for more than
one language here. I want syntax transparently reflecting
straightforward if slowpoke operational semantics. You want
fast, tight programs. I want fast, tight programs too, but
not by giving up the former.
