 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.0.3/html/users_guide/faster.html section
 “How do I find out a function's strictness?”

 The one inaccuracy I noticed is that we no longer output P for primitive
 (primitive types seem to be confusingly given L!); I believe the docs are
 a hold-over from the old strictness analyzer. Someone better acquainted
 with the strictness analyzer should give it a lookover.
