Comment(by jstolarek):

 Simon M., you're right - there are no changes in the code generator.
 According to tests and my analysis of generated assembly everything works
 correct. I wish I could give an explanation of how that works in the
 codegen but I have to admit that I am not familiar with that part of the
 compiler. I'll take a look at the code and see if I can give a more
 professional response :)

 Right now I'm trying to see if I can use new primops to get more
 performance out of Gregory Collins' hashtables package - I'll post here if
 I get good results.
