Sorry about that comment, I think it was just out of date (actually I
don't remember writing it, so maybe it wasn't me). FWIW, the following
wiki page is a correct description of how pointer tagging works, I believe:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Rts/HaskellExecution/PointerTagging
Regarding your patch, it looks like the primitive should be entering R2,
rather than returning it, since it might not be evaluated.
Cheers,
Simon
