Comment (by simonpj):

 Great.  But what would need to change if we want the type of `check#` to
 be
 {{{
 primop  Check "check#" GenPrimOp
       (State# RealWorld -> (# State# RealWorld, a #) )
    -> State# RealWorld -> State# RealWorld
 }}}
 more like other primops.  Somehow it must be returning that unit tuple.
 (Or perhaps not and it's always been broken!!!)
