When fusion rules successfully fire, we are left with calls to *FB functions. They are higher-order functions, and therefore they often benefit from inlining. This is particularly important when then final consumer is a strict fold (foldl', length, etc.), because not inlining these functions means allocating a function closure for each element in the list, which often is more costly than what fusion eliminates.
