[commit: ghc] master: Refactor PrelRules and add more rules (#7014) (6a43840)

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Paolo

Thanks for doing this primop-rule stuff.  Did you add a "Note" to explain why the primop rules are here rather than in (say) GHC.Base where they were?  I forget the details, but I'd like to record the thinking somewhere.  Presumably PrelRules is the place to do so.

Simon
