That is exactly what I'm doing at the moment. The module that has the
nasty impure bits in it is not compiled with optimisations. 
I will improve this when GHC regains the non-let floating flag.

That is a possibility, but the code is part of buddha, my debugger.
I would have to require the user of buddha also to have HasFuse.
