add anyToAddr# :: (#a#)-> Addr# primop (inverse of addrToAny#)
I was talking with Reid Barton, and he pointed out that having a primop with type
anyToAddr# :: (#a#)-> Addr#
would help with a lot of performance hacking.
One use case would be running prefetch on lifted values without evaluating them.
