Comment (by rwbarton):

 Simon, is that true even in view of the fact that `ghc-heap-view` contains
 Cmm that calls `ALLOC_PRIM_P` directly? (https://github.com/nomeata/ghc-
 heap-view/blob/master/cbits/HeapViewPrim.cmm#L27)

 It's not clear to me how custom Cmm is supposed to allocate heap objects
 that might be either small or large, with small objects allocated into the
 nursery for efficiency.
