    --------------------------
    	Add a rule-check pass
    	(special request by Manuel)
    	--------------------------
    
    	DO NOT merge with stable
    
    The flag
    
    	-frule-check foo
    
    will report all sites at which RULES whose name starts with "foo.."
    might apply, but in fact the arguments don't match so the rule
    doesn't apply.
    
    The pass is run right after all the core-to-core passes.  (Next thing
    to do: make the core-to-core script external, so you can fiddle with
    it.  Meanwhile, the core-to-core script is in
    	DriverState.builCoreToDo
    so you can move the CoreDoRuleCheck line around if you want.
    
    The format of the report is experimental: Manuel, feel free to fiddle
    with it.
    
    Most of the code is in specialise/Rules.lhs
    
    
    Incidental changes
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Change BuiltinRule so that the rule name is accessible
    without actually successfully applying the rule.  This
    change affects quite a few files in a trivial way.
