 There really is a mismatch between the semantics in the paper and what GHC
 implements, so I think it's good to keep the ticket open.  Simon knows the
 full details, but as I understand it we think that the semantics should
 take into account the reordering that the strictness analyser does (ie.
 GHC is right, the semantics is wrong).
