Comment (by osa1):

 CSE implementation in STG is one of the things I'm hoping to try when I
 have
 some time. I have a branch here that allows STG-to-STG plugins:
 https://github.com/osa1/ghc/tree/stg_plugins, this may help. We just need
 a
 version of `TrieMap` for STG expressions and then the pass should be
 trivial.
