"lazy" is not optimized away

Consider:

import GHC.Magic  
  
{-# INLINE f #-}  
f x = True  
  
g = lazy f False

Two things should happen: (1) f should not be inlined, but (2) lazy should not be present in final STG (having been eliminated in core prep). I thought this was briefly working on HEAD, but apparently it never worked at all:

ezyang@sabre:~$ ghc-8.0 -c test.hs -ddump-stg -fforce-recomp -O2

==================== STG syntax: ====================
Test.f [InlPrag=INLINE (sat-args=1)]
  :: forall t_axB. t_axB -> GHC.Types.Bool
[GblId,
 Arity=1,
 Caf=NoCafRefs,
 Str=DmdType <L,A>,
 Unf=OtherCon []] =
    \r srt:SRT:[] [eta_sHD] GHC.Types.True [];

Test.g :: GHC.Types.Bool
[GblId, Str=DmdType] =
    \u srt:SRT:[] [] GHC.Magic.lazy Test.f GHC.Types.False;

Clearly it has not been eliminated.
