Comment:

 In commit a66e1ba60d9be67dda2a57a71bde96bc6f8dc5f0:
 {{{
 Author: Thomas Miedema <>
 Date:   Fri Jul 31 17:15:10 2015 +0200

     User's guide: delete ancient "Core syntax" example
 }}}

 There are resources online to learn how to read GHC Core, such as:
 * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6121146/reading-ghc-core
 * http://blog.ezyang.com/2011/04/tracing-the-compilation-of-hello-
 factorial/

 If someone feels like contributing a new section on Core to the User's
 guide, they are of course free to do so. The section I just deleted wasn't
 doing any good.
