This patch addresses #21831, point 2. See Note [generaliseDictPats] in SpecConstr I took the opportunity to refactor the construction of specialisation rules a bit, so that the rule name says what type we are specialising at. Surprisingly, there's a 20% decrease in compile time for test perf/compiler/T18223. I took a look at it, and the code size seems the same throughout. I did a quick ticky profile which seemed to show a bit less substitution going on. Hmm. Maybe it's the "don't do eta-expansion in stable unfoldings" patch, which is part of the same MR as this patch. Anyway, since it's a move in the right direction, I didn't think it was worth looking into further. Metric Decrease: T18223
