That's probably because to fire
distance must be inlined
but sumV and mapV must not
which is obviously a bit delicate.
To do that you need fairly fine grain control over exactly when inlining takes place. That's what the [n] part of an INLINE pragma is for. Look in GHC.Base for examples. Don and Duncan are experts.
I wish there was a more robust way to do this.
