Searching for good compiler sequences is certainly not a new idea. Most work 
that I know focuses on finding good sequences for a particular program. I think 
an interesting opportunity here would be to search for good sequences that 
generally work well for Haskell programs to replace the standard -O1, -O2 used 
by LLVM. I would think the code generated from GHC is different enough that we 
should be able to find standard sequences that we could use to replace the ones 
currently used by LLVM.
