I have a program that generates the following core:

main = case t of t0
   0##     -> ...
   DEFAULT -> case t0 -# 1## of t1
      0##    -> ...
      DEFAUT -> case t1 -# 1## of t2
         0##     -> ...
         DEFAULT -> case t2 -# 1## of _
            0##     -> ...
            DEFAULT -> ...

I think it would be possible to implement constant propagation to get:

main = case t of _
   0## -> ...
   1## -> ...
   2## -> ...
   3## -> ...
   DEFAULT -> ...

If I'm not mistaken, to do that we could replace occurences of:

case t -# k# of _ 
   n0# -> ...
   n1# -> ...
   ...
   DEFAULT -> f

with:

case t of _
   (n0#+k#) -> ... -- (ni#+k#) statically computed
   (n1#+k#) -> ...
   ...
   DEFAULT -> f

Any guidance on how to implement that would be appreciated.
