[mercury-users] Hints on Optimisation

Yes, that's the sort of thing I had in mind.  The sorts of problem I'm
worried about are those where there's a lot of frequently manipulated
state.  I'd rather wrap it all up and let the compiler optimise away
than pass each field around as a separate argument - it's tiresome and
ugly.
