It's a bit of a moveable feast.  With -fno-spec-constr-count you allow GHC to 
specialise as much as it pleases, which is good for perf (maybe) but can lead 
to major code size expansion.

I can't reproduce this.  With the enclosed module and HEAD, I get the warning; 
but when I add -fspec-constr-count=5, the warning goes away and I get the 
specialised rules.

Is this the right fix in general? I try to keep my code warning free but I 
don't want to bump the count unless it's always a win. If it's not always a win 
perhaps it should be a warning that's on by default?
