Comment:
I chatted with tibbe a little on IRC about this, and one conclusion is
that we should probably try harder to inline `runSTRep`. It has to be
inlined very late in order to avoid bad things happening; indeed we used
to try to do that, but it didn't work (see the comment on `runSTRep`). If
we did this, then the allocation of the function closure for passing to
`runST` could disappear, which might be critical in an inner loop.
