btw, i have the counter proposal - automatically convert IORefs of simple types to the fast internal variables like the Int automatically converted to the Int#. The same applies to automatic conversion of arrays to the unboxed arrays
Yeah, I have thought about doing this optimization for jhc. the only issue is that figuring out 'strictness' through an updatable variable is pretty darn tricky. It would be good if there were an IOSRef which is a strict IORef (this can be simulated with normal IORefs and seq) but with secret internal compiler support to automatically turn them into their unboxed equivalants.
