GHC Core simplifier question: turn off all passes?

Indeed, it seems that even with  -ddump-ds that there's a replacement
of immediatelly-applied-lambdas ((\x->x) a => a).

I'm using the GHC API (but running the exe with flags reproduced my
problem), so perhaps I could call `desugarModule` with all the
simplifier rules deleted or something?

---
Output with -ddump-ds

bash-3.2$ stack exec -- ghc  -ddump-ds X.hs -fforce-recomp
-fmax-simplifier-iterations=0 -O0
[1 of 1] Compiling X                ( X.hs, X.o )

==================== Desugar (after optimization) ====================
Result size of Desugar (after optimization)
  = {terms: 11, types: 3, coercions: 0}

-- RHS size: {terms: 4, types: 1, coercions: 0}
it :: Integer
[LclIdX, Str=DmdType]
it = * @ Integer GHC.Num.$fNumInteger 123 2

-- RHS size: {terms: 5, types: 0, coercions: 0}
X.$trModule :: GHC.Types.Module
[LclIdX, Str=DmdType]
X.$trModule =
  GHC.Types.Module
    (GHC.Types.TrNameS "main"#) (GHC.Types.TrNameS "X"#)
