Comment (by simonmar):

 > Right, that would be sufficient to detect thunks that are wrongly marked
 single-entry. But we also want to learn about thunks that are not marked
 single-entry, but should be.

 Do you expect to learn much by doing that?  We know the analysis is
 inaccurate, and I expect you'll just find a lot of thunks that are used a
 long way from the definition site.
