I wanted to understand better what `-fspec-constr` does. So I compiled the User Guide example with `-O0 -fspec-constr` to isolate the effects of call-pattern specialization, and nothing else (I used ghc-core to pretty-print the resulting Core syntax). It appears I get the same output wether I use `-fspec-constr` or not. Does this mean that compiling with `-O0` even explicitly enabled optimizations are turned off? If that is the case, how does one test an isolated optimization? -Chris
