I'd like to know if it's possible to get GHC to perform some simple CSE for function-level programming. Here's a simple example: liftA2 (*) sin sin :: Double -> Double which inlines and simplifies to \ t -> sin t * sin t A more realistic, equivalent, example: let b = sin <$> id in liftA2 (*) b b Can GHC be nudged into computing 'sin t' once rather than twice? Thanks, - Conal
