Comment (by bgamari):

 Here is a sketch of the structure of `takeEnv` along with strictness
 signatures,
 {{{
 takeEnv =
   \ (@ env_a3hT)
     (x_X3Lx [Dmd=] :: Vector (TMVar env_a3hT))
     (eta_B1 [Dmd=] :: GHC.Prim.State# GHC.Prim.RealWorld) ->
   case x_X3Lx of
       { Data.Vector.Vector ipv_s4Q7 [Dmd=] ipv_s4Q8 [Dmd=]
                            ipv_s4Q9 [Dmd=] ->
         joinrec {
           foldlM_loop_a45q [Occ=LoopBreaker]
             :: GHC.Types.SPEC
                -> STM env_a3hT
                -> Int
                -> (# GHC.Prim.State# GHC.Prim.RealWorld, env_a3hT #)
           foldlM_loop_a45q (ds4_a45s [Dmd=] :: GHC.Types.SPEC)
                            (z1_a45t [Dmd=] :: STM
 env_a3hT)
                            (s1_a45u [Dmd=] :: Int) = ...
         }
         in jump foldlM_loop_a45q
              GHC.Types.SPEC
              (((srcBracket.hs:119:32-36 GHC.Prim.retry#) @ env_a3hT)
               `cast` (Sym (GHC.Conc.Sync.N:STM[0] _R)
                       :: ((GHC.Prim.State# GHC.Prim.RealWorld
                            -> (# GHC.Prim.State# GHC.Prim.RealWorld,
 env_a3hT #)) :: *)
                          ~R#
                          (STM env_a3hT :: *)))
              (GHC.Types.I# 0#)
       }
 }}}

 Note how the analyzer somehow concludes hyperstrict demands for all of the
 binders bound by the case analysis of the `Vector` despite the fact that
 the whole thing consists of nothing more than a call to `foldlM_loop_a45q`
 which does not itself diverge.
