Comment (by sgraf):

 Re: Making `want*Handle` strict in their `act`ions in comment:19.

 This regresses all over the place  and I don't really know why. Maybe
 because `case f x of g -> case g y of res -> res` is operationally
 different than `case f x y of res -> res`? Maybe it's because one-shot
 information worsened?
