Comment (by carter):

 simon, you're forgetting version 5! :
 {{{
 f  = \ x y -> ( U.zipWith (+) x y)
 }}}

 I think thats the "maximally inlining" way to define that procedure. Its
 also how i'm writing quite a bit of my performance sensitive code, because

 a) this way inlining is independent of using it point free or not
 b)  it saturates all the functions in the body of the procedure

 c) the way the end user uses the code won't impact when / if inlining
 happens :)
