Comment (by simonpj):

 Conclusions

 * ToDo: augument Lint to check that args to strict data cons are
 evaluated.  Ditto `dataToTag#`.

 * ToDo: (maybe) make `exprOkForSpeculation` more lenient for lazy
 primpops.

 * ToDo: make worker/wrapper produce eval'd flags on the wrapper for CPR.
 Will silence the Lint error in comment:17

 There is no actual bug here, if you have Lint off.  The problem is that
 Lint is reporting a non-error.
