Note [Join points and beta-redexes]

GHC/Core/Opt/WorkWrap/Utils.hs:528 compiler

Originally, the worker would invoke the original function by calling it with
arguments, thus producing a beta-redex for the simplifier to munch away:

  \x y z -> e => (\x y z -> e) wx wy wz

Now that we have special rules about join points, however, this is Not Good if
the original function is itself a join point, as then it may contain invocations
of other join points:

  join j1 x = ...
  join j2 y = if y == 0 then 0 else j1 y

  =>

  join j1 x = ...
  join $wj2 y# = let wy = I# y# in (\y -> if y == 0 then 0 else jump j1 y) wy
  join j2 y = case y of I# y# -> jump $wj2 y#

There can't be an intervening lambda between a join point's declaration and its
occurrences, so $wj2 here is wrong. But of course, this is easy enough to fix:

  ...
  let join $wj2 y# = let wy = I# y# in let y = wy in if y == 0 then 0 else j1 y
  ...

Hence we simply do the beta-reduction here. (This would be harder if we had to
worry about hygiene, but luckily wy is freshly generated.)
