I can look into this, sure, but it wouldn't exactly solve my original problem,
which is that I would like to turn this on wholesale, not definition by
definition. It seems that all past discussion about this was in the context of
a per-definition pragma (and sadly, a large part of that was bikeshedding over
the name of the pragma...). But is the reason for that spelled out explicitly
somewhere? In other words, what is the cost of specialisation, why would I ever
not want to specialize a definition (inlinable or not)? I'd like to understand
this first before reviving the proposal.

Subject: [External] Re: Specialising NOINLINE functions
There is a (stale) ghc-proposal for that,
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/357<https://clicktime.symantec.com/3NuNFMzg65dA5k5kXHX5U196xU?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fghc-proposals%2Fghc-proposals%2Fpull%2F357>
So there is! Thank you.
Gergo: would you like to take over this proposal, revise it if necessary in the
light of the comments, and submit it?
