Comment (by simonpj):

 The notation is `<stricness, usage>`.  SO `<L, anything>` means a lazy
 arg.  So `add3` takes its argument boxed.

 What I'm missing is a (preferably small) test case in which something
 isn't unboxed that should be.  The one you gave me in comment:4 appears to
 be fine.  Do you have in mind another one that isn't?

 I suppose I could install ekg etc, if that is necessary.

 Simon
