As a small update on this for anyone following along, I submitted a GHC proposal about a week ago to add the discussed primops (albeit with some tweaked names). For those who haven’t seen it already, the pull request is here:
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/313 So far, the reception has been quite positive, so I’m optimistic about getting these added. Of course, if anyone has any concerns, please voice them in the PR thread!
