The haddock for `RealWorld` says:
> `RealWorld` is deeply magical. It is ''primitive'', but it is not
''unlifted'' (hence `ptrArg`). We never manipulate values of type
`RealWorld`; it's only used in the type system, to parameterise `State#`.
The "(hence `ptrArg`)" doesn't seem to make any sense. There is no
identifer named `ptrArg` anywhere in the GHC repository. Is this a typo,
or a reference to something that no longer exists?
