So we define them as regular data types in GHC.Types, and do magic in GHC.Builtin.Types, inside GHC, to change the kind and type. -} -- | Lifted, heterogeneous equality.

We would like to have functions isTrue# and isFalse# defined like this: isTrue# :: Int# -> Bool isTrue# 1# = True isTrue# _ = False isFalse# :: Int# -> Bool isFalse# 0# = True isFalse# _ = False These functions would allow us to safely check if a tag can represent True or False. Using isTrue# and isFalse# as defined above will not introduce additional case into the code. When we scrutinize return value of isTrue# or isFalse#, either explicitly in a case expression or implicitly in a guard, the result will always be a single case expression (given that optimizations are turned on). This results from case-of-case transformation. Consider this code (this is both valid Haskell and Core): case isTrue# (a ># b) of True -> e1 False -> e2 Inlining isTrue# gives: case (case (a ># b) of { 1# -> True; _ -> False } ) of True -> e1 False -> e2 Case-of-case transforms that to: case (a ># b) of 1# -> case True of True -> e1 False -> e2 _ -> case False of True -> e1 False -> e2 Which is then simplified by case-of-known-constructor: case (a ># b) of 1# -> e1 _ -> e2 While we get good Core here, the code generator will generate very bad Cmm if e1 or e2 do allocation. It will push heap checks into case alternatives which results in about 2.5% increase in code size. Until this is improved we just make isTrue# an alias to tagToEnum#.
