Comment (by ekmett):

 Implemented as a custom prim so there is no risk of the gc gap? That'd fix
 the soundness concern. I'd for some reason mentally parsed Simon's
 suggestion as happening in "user land" as it were but that fixes it.

 I still think it falls into wontfix territory for the other reasons
 specified; I don't particularly _like_ our current implementation.
