I didn't try it, because I didn't know about that flag. I'll
experiment with it at some point. But from your other comments, it
sounds like you're confirming my suspicion that making GHC generate
External Core files that it can read back in again entails either
paying an optimization cost in terms of the generated Core files, or
cross-cutting changes to GHC?

Cheers,
