Note [Floating out of top level bindings]

GHC/CoreToStg/Prep.hs:328 compiler

NB: we do need to float out of top-level bindings
Consider        x = length [True,False]
We want to get
                s1 = False : []
                s2 = True  : s1
                x  = length s2

We return a *list* of bindings, because we may start with
        x* = f (g y)
where x is demanded, in which case we want to finish with
        a = g y
        x* = f a
And then x will actually end up case-bound
