I've been thinking about this some more and I think we should definitely unpack primitive types (e.g. Int, Word, Float, Double, Char) by default.

Initially we could hide this feature behind a new -funbox-strict-primitive-fields, but I definitely think we should push towards making it the default as some of the benefit (especially for beginners) comes from that. -- Johan
