    Without -O do not complain about SPECIALISE pragmas for non-INLINABLE things
    
    Otherwise Haddock (which compiles stuff without -O) falls over

|  Oh, wait.  This is something to do with *haddock* (I see in the last line) which I may
|  have switched off because it takes so long.
|  
|  Maybe haddock is compiling the base libraries without -O...  but somehow still looking
|  at the SPECiALISE pragmas....
|  
|  Yes that's it!   Without -O we should ignore SPECIALISE pragmas rather than complain
|  that the exporting module doesn't have an INLINABLE pragma (it does, but the
|  exporting module was compiled without -O).  Aha.  Patch coming
