This started when someone mentioned, mostly in passing, that GHC has a flag for ApplicativeDo (-foptimal-applicative-do) that’s switched off by default because the algorithm behind it is too slow to use. That sounded like a bug to me. An optimization that’s correct but disabled for being slow is the kind of thing you fix in an afternoon, I figured. It wasn’t; it turned out to be a properly ...
