Comment:

 Huh, that's quite an unusual description. A quick search reveals that
 Simon Marlow added this description to `RealWorld` all the way back in
 2007:
 http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blobdiff/e07e2550074ddc7d96e2092e56add418403bd29a..604539cd8f4577198535d30d61e3c9e4f20e2745:/compiler/prelude/primops.txt.pp

 Simon, do you recall what you meant by "`ptrArg`"?
