Eliminate unsafeEqualityProof in CorePrepwip/T19700
The main idea here is to avoid treating * case e of {} * case unsafeEqualityProof of UnsafeRefl co -> blah specially in CoreToStg. Instead, nail them in CorePrep, by converting case e of {} ==> e |> unsafe-co case unsafeEqualityProof of UnsafeRefl cv -> blah ==> blah[unsafe-co/cv] in GHC.Core.Prep. Now expressions that we want to treat as trivial really are trivial. We can get rid of cpExprIsTrivial. And we fix #19700. A downside is that, at least under unsafeEqualityProof, we substitute in types and coercions, which is more work. But a big advantage is that it's all very simple and principled: CorePrep really gets rid of the unsafeCoerce stuff, as it does empty case, runRW#, lazyId etc. I've updated the overview in GHC.Core.Prep, and added Note [Unsafe coercions] in GHC.Core.Prep Note [Implementing unsafeCoerce] in base:Unsafe.Coerce We get 3% fewer bytes allocated when compiling perf/compiler/T5631, which uses a lot of unsafeCoerces. (It's a happy-generated parser.) Metric Decrease: T5631
