We pursue a "layered" strategy for unboxing: we unbox the top level of the
argument(s), subject to budget; if there are any arguments left we unbox the
next layer, using that depleted budget.
+Unboxing an argument *increases* the budget for the inner layer roughly
+according to how many registers that argument takes (unboxed tuples take
+multiple registers, see below), as determined by 'unariseArity'.
+Budget is spent when we have to pass a non-absent field as a parameter.
To achieve this, we use the classic almost-circular programming technique in
which we we write one pass that takes a lazy list of the Budgets for every
-layer.
+layer. The effect is that of a breadth-first search (over argument type and
+demand structure) to compute Budgets followed by a depth-first search to
+construct the product demands, but laziness allows us to do it all in one
+pass and without intermediate data structures.
+
+Suppose we have -fmax-worker-args=4 for the remainder of this Note.
+Then consider this example function:
+
+ boxed :: (Int, Int) -> (Int, (Int, Int, Int)) -> Int
+ boxed (a,b) (c, (d,e,f)) = a + b + c + d + e + f
+
+With a budget of 4 args to spend (number of args is only 2), we'd be served well
+to unbox both pairs, but not the triple. Indeed, that is what the algorithm
+computes, and the following pictogram shows how the budget layers are computed.
+Each layer is started with `n ~>`, where `n` is the budget at the start of the
+layer. We write -n~> when we spend budget (and n is the remaining budget) and
++n~> when we earn budget. We separate unboxed args with ][ and indicate
+inner budget threads becoming negative in braces {{}}, so that we see which
+unboxing decision we do *not* commit to. Without further ado:
+
+ 4 ~> ][ (a,b) -3~> ][ (c, ...) -2~>
+ ][ | | ][ | |
+ ][ | +-------------+ ][ | +-----------------+
+ ][ | | ][ | |
+ ][ v v ][ v v
+ 2 ~> ][ +3~> a -2~> ][ b -1~> ][ +2~> c -1~> ][ (d, e, f) -0~>
+ ][ | ][ | ][ | ][ {{ | | | }}
+ ][ | ][ | ][ | ][ {{ | | +----------------+ }}
+ ][ v ][ v ][ v ][ {{ v +------v v }}
+ 0 ~> ][ +1~> I# -0~> ][ +1~> I# -0~> ][ +1~> I# -0~> ][ {{ +1~> d -0~> ][ e -(-1)~> ][ f -(-2)~> }}
+
+Unboxing increments the budget we have on the next layer (because we don't need
+to retain the boxed arg), but in turn the inner layer must afford to retain all
+non-absent fields, each decrementing the budget. Note how the budget becomes
+negative when trying to unbox the triple and the unboxing decision is "rolled
+back". This is done by the 'positiveTopBudget' guard.
+
+There's a bit of complication as a result of handling unboxed tuples correctly;
+specifically, handling nested unboxed tuples. Consider (#21737)
+
+ unboxed :: (Int, Int) -> (# Int, (# Int, Int, Int #) #) -> Int
+ unboxed (a,b) (# c, (# d, e, f #) #) = a + b + c + d + e + f
+
+Recall that unboxed tuples will be flattened to individual arguments during
+unarisation. Here, `unboxed` will have 5 arguments at runtime because of the
+nested unboxed tuple, which will be flattened to 4 args. So it's best to leave
+`(a,b)` boxed (because we already are above our arg threshold), but unbox `c`
+through `f` because that doesn't increase the number of args post unarisation.
+
+Note that the challenge is that syntactically, `(# d, e, f #)` occurs in a
+deeper layer than `(a, b)`. Treating unboxed tuples as a regular data type, we'd
+make the same unboxing decisions as for `boxed` above; although our starting
+budget is 5 (Here, the number of args is greater than -fmax-worker-args), it's
+not enough to unbox the triple (we'd finish with budget -1). So we'd unbox `a`
+through `c`, but not `d` through `f`, which is silly, because then we'd end up
+having 6 arguments at runtime, of which `d` through `f` weren't unboxed.
+
+Hence we pretend that the fields of unboxed tuples appear in the same budget
+layer as the tuple itself. For example at the top-level, `(# x,y #)` is to be
+treated just like two arguments `x` and `y`.
+Of course, for that to work, our budget calculations must initialise
+'max_wkr_args' to 5, based on the 'unariseArity' of each Core arg: That would be
+1 for the pair and 4 for the unboxed pair. Then when we decide whether to unbox
+the unboxed pair, we *directly* recurse into the fields, spending our budget
+on retaining `c` and (after recursing once more) `d` through `f` as arguments,
+depleting our budget completely in the first layer. Pictorially:
+
+ 5 ~> ][ (a,b) -4~> ][ (# c, ... #)
+ ][ {{ | | }} ][ c -3~> ][ (# d, e, f #)
+ ][ {{ | +-------+ }} ][ | ][ d -2~> ][ e -1~> ][ f -0~>
+ ][ {{ | | }} ][ | ][ | ][ | ][ |
+ ][ {{ v v }} ][ v ][ v ][ v ][ v
+ 0 ~> ][ {{ +1~> a -0~> ][ b -(-1)~> }} ][ +1~> I# -0~> ][ +1~> I# -0~> ][ +1~> I# -0~> ][ +1~> I# -0~>
+
+As you can see, we have no budget left to justify unboxing `(a,b)` on the second
+layer, which is good, because it would increase the number of args. Also note
+that we can still unbox `c` through `f` in this layer, because doing so has a
+net zero effect on budget.
