I suggest *not* using these pragmas unless a combination of profiling and reading intermediate code dumps suggests that foo -- and its un-specialized nature -- is truly a bottleneck.
it's a matter of taste - and experience. may be it's simpler to add a huge number of INLINE pragmas than to profile and especially read code dumps?
I agree that profiling and reading code dumps can be daunting, but in my opinion, it's better to learn these skills once and for all (and unfortunately, these skills are still necessary given the current level of Haskell technology) and gain insight into how to use the compiler to get the code you want than to practice cargo-cult programming in the form of wanton pragmas.
