GHC Core simplifier question: turn off all passes?

I second Rahul in that -ddump-ds is what you want. But the desugarer actually does a quick "simple-optimization" pass before -ddump-ds. If you really want the raw desugarer output, you'll need -ddump-ds *and* a DEBUG build of GHC. See the code in Desugar here: https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/deSugar/Desugar.hs#L159
