 This program should output 2, but in 8.1 with `-O` enabled it outputs 3.
 The problem is with the way that scrutinee constant folding rewrites the
 case.
 {{{#!hs
 f :: Word -> Word
 f n = case n+1 of
        0 -> 2
        _ -> 3
 {-# NOINLINE f #-}
 main = print (f (-1))
 }}}

 Core with 8.1 and `-O`:
 {{{
 f [InlPrag=NOINLINE] :: Word -> Word
 [GblId, Arity=1, Caf=NoCafRefs, Str=<S(S),1*U(1*U)>m]
 f =
   \ (n_ay2 :: Word) ->
     case n_ay2 of { GHC.Types.W# x#_a1SL ->
     case x#_a1SL of {
       __DEFAULT -> lvl_r4lD;
       -1## -> lvl1_r4mD
     }
     }
 }}}

 Apparently `-1##` isn't okay: it needs to be `9223372036854775807##`.
