Comment(by milan):
The INLINABLE is being used only on Map and Set.
The idea is that Data.Map.lookup is specialized if it is used with a known
class instance (e.g., when using lookup on 'Map Int something'). In that
case, a specialization is created, together with a rewrite rule which
causes that this specialization is used for further lookups on 'Map Int
something'. This rule is used in the same module and also in all modules
importing this one.
If we decide to write a wrapper, it would have to mention all key types
for which a Map or Set is being used. But if I recall, Maps and Sets are
not frequently used. We'll see from the numbers.
