Comment (by simonpj):

 Cool idea though.   See `Note [runRW magic]` in `MkId` for the main
 comment on this.

 I like the way that consumers correctly consume the result.

 We'd really like that NOINLINE to disapper right at the end somehow.

 One thing I like about `runRW#` is that it signals the magic very clearly;
 somehow a NOINLINE on a join point feels a bit too subtle.
