  * Don't do SpecConstr on NOINLINE things (Trac #4064)

  Since the RULE from specialising gets the same Activation as
  the inlining for the Id itself there's no point in specialising
  a NOINLINE thing, because the rule will be permanently switched
  off.

  See Note [Transfer activation] in SpecConstr
  and Note [Auto-specialisation and RULES] in Specialise.

    M ./compiler/specialise/SpecConstr.lhs -1 +9
