Comment (by michaelt):

 If I add a monad instance, then I can give the customary definition `await
 = Await Done`. If I delay inlining, then the standard use of `await` works
 fine in the presence of this rule

 {{{
 {-# RULES "await hack"
      forall f . await >>= f = Await (oneShot f)
       #-}
 }}}

 In a library for your `Sink` type, this would I think get rid of the
 problem. See the attached
