  	----------------------------------------------
  	Output curried functions for data constructors
  	----------------------------------------------
  			(incomplete)
  
  The idea here is to output code for the *curried* version of
  the worker of a data constructor, so that the worker can be
  treated as a first-class citizen elsewhere in the compiler.
  In particular, it doesn't need to be a "hasNoBinding" thing,
  which are the subject of a number of nasty hacks.
  
  These changes only do the business for the code gen route
  via AbstractC.  Remaining to do: the byte code generator.
  
  Idea: move the byte-code gen to STG code, and inject the
  curried data-constructor workers at the STG stage.
  
  	I hope the changes here won't make
  	anything stop working.  For now, constructor
  	workers remain "hasNoBinding" things.
