 Consider this program using `Data.Vector.unsafeThaw` and `-fno-cse`:

 {{{
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -fno-cse #-}

 import qualified Data.Vector as V
 import qualified Data.Vector.Mutable as VM

 main :: IO ()
 main = do
   foo 100000
   foo 100000

 foo :: Int -> IO ()
 foo n = do
   indexVector <- V.unsafeThaw $ V.generate n id

   x <- VM.read indexVector 5
   VM.write indexVector 5 (x * x)

   print x

 -- In GHCI, we get:
 --
 -- > :set -fno-cse
 --
 -- > foo 100000
 -- 5
 -- > foo 100000
 -- 5
 --
 -- > let f = foo 100000 in f >> f
 -- 5
 -- 25
 }}}

 I would expect that

 {{{
 > let f = foo 100000 in f >> f
 5
 5
 }}}

 Shouldn't `-fno-cse` fix this?

 (Note: With `ghc` instead of `ghci`, we don't observe this behaviour.)
