Comment (by mboes):

 Wait - what ''is'' the semantics implemented in HEAD? Is it the one we
 want? Why does it make a difference whether `g` is inlined or not?

 What do you mean by your last sentence:

 >  I couldn't be sure, but I'm more inclined to think that the current
 (hopefully correct) implementation is more of an accident than a designed
 behavior.

 Do each one of the examples I write at the top of [comment:7 this comment]
 pass/don't pass as expected in GHC HEAD? If so, which commit changed that
 in HEAD and where these changes intentional?
