Comment (by simonpj):

 I think perhaps you mean that in the call
 {{{
 I# x `c` go_up (x +# delta)
 }}}
 since GHC doesn't know `c` is strict, it'll allocate a thunk for the
 second argument.  Quite true.  And that does mean it'd be good to inline
 `efdtIntUpFB`, I agree.

 But still, fewer Int boxes is better regardless.
