+commit 5efbf0d243984444cf352ad6f0d147e226c64498
+Author: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@gentoo.org>
+Date: Thu Sep 1 17:34:58 2016 +0100
+
+ restore -fmax-worker-args handling (Trac #11565)
+
+ maxWorkerArgs handling was accidentally lost 3 years ago
+ in a major update of demand analysis
+ commit 0831a12ea2fc73c33652eeec1adc79fa19700578
+
+ Old regression is noticeable as:
+ - code bloat (requires stack reshuffling)
+ - compilation slowdown (more code to optimise/generate)
+ - and increased heap usage (DynFlags unboxing/reboxing?)
+
+ On a simple compile benchmark this change causes heap
+ allocation drop from 70G don to 67G (ghc perf build).

++Note [Limit w/w arity]
++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
++Guard against high worker arity as it generates a lot of stack traffic.
++A simplified example is Trac #11565#comment:6
++
++Current strategy is very simple: don't perform w/w transformation at all
++if the result produces a wrapper with arity higher than -fmax-worker-args=.
++
++It is a bit all or nothing, consider
++
++ f (x,y) (a,b,c,d,e ... , z) = rhs
++
++Currently we will remove all w/w ness entirely. But actually we could
++w/w on the (x,y) pair... it's the huge product that is the problem.
++
++Could we instead refrain from w/w on an arg-by-arg basis? Yes, that'd
++solve f. But we can get a lot of args from deeply-nested products:
++
++ g (a, (b, (c, (d, ...)))) = rhs
++
++This is harder to spot on an arg-by-arg basis. Previously mkWwStr was
++given some "fuel" saying how many arguments it could add; when we ran
++out of fuel it would stop w/wing.
++Still not very clever because it had a left-right bias.
