Comment (by simonpj):

 What's this (in `Exitify`):
 {{{
   where
     exit_id_tmpl = mkSysLocal (fsLit "exit") initExitJoinUnique ty
                     `asJoinId` join_arity
                     `setIdOccInfo` exit_occ_info

     -- See Note [Do not inline exit join points]
     exit_occ_info =
         OneOcc { occ_in_lam = True
                , occ_one_br = True
                , occ_int_cxt = False
                , occ_tail = AlwaysTailCalled join_arity }
 }}}
 The occurrence analyser sets occ-info. No one else should.  What happens
 if you leave this out?
