[Haskell-cafe] Is it a thunk?

[Marcin Szamotulski]

Hi David,

At IOHK we are using `ghc-heap` which is bundled with a recent version of ghc. We have a bit of architecture which allow to test for unexpected thunks and it worked very well for us: https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-prelude/blob/master/src/Cardano/Prelude/GHC/Heap/NormalForm/Classy.hs#L69
Best regards,
Marcin Szamotulski
