 I was looking at the result of compiling `base:Data/Typeable/Internal`.
 It has a fairly large top-level recursive group of functions, involving
 `mkTrApp`.  In doing so I noticed that `LiberateCase` was duplicating the
 entire top-level blob at a call of a function that was actually just a
 call to `error`. Totally nuts.

 This ticket tracks the problem.
