Summary: This implements a selective lambda-lifting pass late in the STG pipeline. Lambda lifting has the effect of avoiding closure allocation at the cost of having to make former free vars available at call sites, possibly enlarging closures surrounding call sites in turn. We identify beneficial cases by means of an analysis that estimates closure growth. There's a Wiki page at https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/LateLamLift.
