+-- Top level function inlining
+--------------------------------
+-- This transformation inlines top level bindings that have been generated by
+-- the compiler and are really simple. Really simple currently means that the
+-- normalized form only contains a single binding, which catches most of the
+-- cases where a top level function is created that simply calls a type class
+-- method with a type and dictionary argument, e.g.
+-- fromInteger = GHC.Num.fromInteger (SizedWord D8) $dNum
+-- which is later called using simply
+-- fromInteger (smallInteger 10)
+-- By inlining such calls to simple, compiler generated functions, we prevent
+-- huge amounts of trivial components in the VHDL output, which the user never
+-- wanted. We never inline user-defined functions, since we want to preserve
+-- all structure defined by the user. Currently this includes all functions
+-- that were created by funextract, since we would get loops otherwise.
+--
+-- Note that "defined by the compiler" isn't completely watertight, since GHC
+-- doesn't seem to set all those names as "system names", we apply some
+-- guessing here.

+-- sort of strict), this binder is ignored when generating VHDL, and must thus
