    - Convert many of the optimisation options into dynamic options (that is,
      they can be mentioned in {-# OPTIONS #-} pragmas).
    
    - Add a new way to specify constructor-field unboxing on a selective
      basis.  To tell the compiler to unbox a constructor field, do this:
    
          data T = T !!Int
    
      and GHC will store that field unboxed if possible.  If it isn't possible
      (say, because the field has a sum type) then the annotation is ignored.
    
      The -funbox-strict-fields flag is now a dynamic flag, and has the same
      effect as replacing all the '!' annotations with '!!'.
