+{- Note [scanrFB and evaluation]
+In a previous Version, the pattern match on the tuple in scanrFB used to be
+strict. If scanr is called with a build expression, the following would happen:
+The rule "scanr" would fire, and we obtain
+ build (\c n -> strictUncurryScanr c (foldr (scanrFB f c) (q0,n) (build g))))
+The rule "foldr/build" now fires, and the second argument of strictUncurryScanr
+will be the expression
+ g (scanrFB f c) (q0,n)
+which will be evaluated, thanks to strictUncurryScanr.
+The type of (g :: (a -> b -> b) -> b -> b) allows us to apply parametricity:
+Either the tuple is returned (trivial), or scanrFB is called:
+ g (scanrFB f c) (q0,n) = scanrFB ... (g' (scanrFB f c) (q0,n))
+Notice that thanks to the strictness of scanrFB, the expression
+g' (scanrFB f c) (q0,n) gets evaluated aswell. In particular, if g' is a
+recursive case of g, parametricity applies again and we will again have a
+possible call to scanrFB. In short, g (scanrFB f c) (q0,n) will end up being
+completely evaluated. This is resource consuming for large lists and if the
+recursion has no exit condition (and this will be the case in functions like
+repeat or cycle), the program will crash (see #16943).
+The solution: Don't make scanrFB strict in its last argument. Doing so will
+remove the cause for the chain of evaluations, and all is well.
