  * Add -fpass-case-bndr-to-join-points
  
  See Note [Passing the case binder to join points] in Simplify.lhs
  The default now is *not* to pass the case binder.  There are some
  nofib results with the above note; the effect is almost always 
  negligible.
  
  I don't expect this flag to be used by users (hence no docs). It's just
  there to let me try the performance effects of switching on and off.
