Comment (by igloo):

 Ah, well, it'll ''probably'' do what you want. But if, for example, at a
 usage site GHC can see the expression that has been put in `rqPostParams`
 and thinks that it is cheap, then it may evaluate a copy of it rather than
 sharing the value. #2273 is an example of something similar.

 To be sure, I think you'd need something like:
 {{{
 foo :: RequestBuilder
 foo = do rq <- rGet
          let !rqPostParams' = rqPostParams rq
          ...
          rPut $! (rq { rqPostParams = rqPostParams' })
 }}}
