Comment (by jstolarek):

 From ghc-devs:

 jstolarek:
 > How can I observe the effects of `-ddump-simpl-phases`? I tried
 compiling several different programs and this flag seems to have no effect
 (ie. nothing gets printed).

 simonpj:

 > to dump the output of phases called A,B,C. But no, it seems that it only
 affects output of simplifier statistics (see simplifyPgmIO).  I have never
 used this flag.  Maybe it can go.  Looks strange to me.
