Changed combinator ulazySat so that it no longer forces evaluation of the trace so that much of untraced code is actually traced. Reduces trace size substantially: Adjoxo from 63 MB to 41 MB; everything reachable according to hat-check. A trivial test program from 4 KB to 0.5 KB; nearly everything reachable according to hat-check; unreachable part needed by hat-detect. Reduces runtime for ghc; Adjoxo from 29s to 17s. However, increases runtime for nhc98; Adjoxo from 31s to 1m 45s. A time profile exposes the problem for nhc98. The new ulazySat uses a new IORef for every invocation. Especially the IO machinery and the unsafePerformIO calls are very expensive in nhc98. Some percentages of Adjoxo:

...

= 5.4%; _mkIOok2 3.4%, _mkIOok3 1.6%, unsafePerformIO 5.3%, readIOArray 2.4%, writeIOArray 2.1%, newIOArray 1.9%, newIORef 1.1%, readIORef 0.5%, writeIORef 0.4%, Ix 12.2%, Array 4.6%; sum of these: 41% ulazySat itself 4%

I'm still not sure that the new definition of ulazySat doesn't lose necessary trace part. Actually a trace should always be demanded before its value. A little modification of uLazySat however proved, that it is not always evaluated that way. uLazySat always returns the hidden parent when its trace is demanded after its normal value.
