Underlying functions and primitives

The functions `par' and `seq' are wired into GHC, and unfold into uses of the `par#' and `seq#' primitives, respectively. If you'd like to see this with your very own eyes, just run GHC with the `-ddump-simpl' option. (Anything for a good time...) You can use `par' and `seq' in Concurrent Haskell, though I'm not sure why you would want to.
