    Duncan Coutts wanted to export a function that has a NOINLNE pragma
    in a local let-defintion.  This works fine within a module, but was 
    not surviving across the interface-file serialisation.

    Regardless of whether or not he's doing something sensible, it seems
    reasonable to try to retain local-binder IdInfo across interface files.
    This initial patch just retains inline-pragma info, on the grounds that
    other IdInfo can be re-inferred at the inline site.
    
    Interface files get a tiny bit bigger, but it seesm slight.
