 There is a note at the top of `SpecConstr` which says

 {{{
   ToDo [Oct 2013]
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   1. Nuke ForceSpecConstr for good (it is subsumed by GHC.Types.SPEC in
 ghc-prim)
   2. Nuke NoSpecConstr
 }}}

 `ForceSpecConstr` still exists so this ticket is to track the progress
 made on removing it.

 It isn't clear to me why it is ok to get rid of `NoSpecConstr` (which
 prevents SpecConstr firing) either.
