    Remove the inline primop
    
    It's not really a primop, and GHC.Prim doesn't export it. It has a
    definition in GHC.Magic.

-	definition must be visible to the compiler. That is, {\tt f} must be
-	{\tt let}-bound in the current scope. If no inlining takes place, the
-	{\tt inline} function expands to the identity function in Phase zero; so its
-	use imposes no overhead.

-	It is good practice to mark the function with an INLINABLE pragma at
-        its definition, (a) so that GHC guarantees to expose its unfolding regardless
-        of size, and (b) so that you have control over exactly what is inlined. }
