The below "Core" output from "ghc -O2" (9.2/8.10) for the attached
program shows seemingly rendundant join points:
join {
exit :: State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, () #)
exit (ipv :: State# RealWorld) = jump $s$j ipv } in
join {
exit1 :: State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, () #)
exit1 (ipv :: State# RealWorld) = jump $s$j ipv } in
that are identical in all but name. These correspond to fallthrough
to the "otherwise" case in:
...
| acc < q || (acc == q && d <= 5)
-> loop (ptr `plusPtr` 1) (acc * 10 + d)
| otherwise -> return Nothing
but it seems that the generated X86_64 code (also below) ultimately
consolidates these into a single target... Is that why it is harmless to
leave these duplicated in the generated "Core"?
[ Separately, in the generated machine code, it'd also be nice to avoid
comparing the same "q" with the accumulator twice. A single load and
compare should I think be enough, as I'd expect the status flags to
persist across the jump the second test.
This happens to not be performance critical in my case, because most
calls should satisfy the first test, but generally I think that 3-way
"a < b", "a == b", "a > b" branches ideally avoid comparing twice... ]

The jumps at "-1->" and "-2->" that correspond that "otherwise" have the
same target. The duplicate "load+cmp" with "q" is at "-3->" and "-4->":
