Comment (by carter):
its important to also note from the docs in GHC.Prim
data State# s Source
State# is the primitive, unlifted type of states. It has one type
parameter, thus State# RealWorld, or State# s, where s is a type variable.
The only purpose of the type parameter is to keep different state threads
separate. It is represented by nothing at all.
data RealWorld Source
RealWorld is deeply magical. It is primitive, but it is not unlifted
(hence ptrArg). We never manipulate values of type RealWorld; it's only
used in the type system, to parameterise State#.
i'm not sure if your expectations on the evaluation are correct from this
perspective. I could /likely am incorrect though.
