Well in this case I'd be really interested in seeing how the can tell the 
difference, be it only from a simple complexity theoretic point of view ! I 
understand they may look for common patterns in their compiler code to tell the 
difference between GHC's generated code and theirs, but pretending they can do 
it in this case only shows that Apple lawyers never communicate with the 
engineers.
