GHC INLINE pragma behavior does not match docs
Per https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/7.8.4/docs/html/users_guide/pragmas.html#specialize-pragma , I should be able to SPECIALIZE an imported function if the function is marked as INLINABLE at the definition site.
While trying to debug a related issue (#10720 (closed)), I tried making the original function (••) INLINABLE and then SPECIALIZing it at the call site. However, GHC tells me "Warning: SPECIALISE pragma on INLINE function probably won't fire: ‘••’".
