Comment (by dfeuer):

 Adding an `INLINE` pragma to a wrapper is exactly what GHC does in its
 worker/wrapper transformation, so I don't think it's too big a commitment.
 My third point is that if we know one of the arguments at compile time, we
 only need to inspect the other one at run time. There's no real need to
 follow a pointer to get the fingerprint of `Int`; we already know it! It's
 just constant folding.
