+Note [Don't change boxity without worker/wrapper]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Consider (T21754)
+ f n = n+1
+ {-# NOINLINE f #-}
+With `-fno-worker-wrapper`, we should not give `f` a boxity signature that says
+that it unboxes its argument! Client modules would never be able to cancel away
+the box for n. Likewise we shouldn't give `f` the CPR property.
+
+Similarly, in the last run of DmdAnal before codegen (which does not have a
+worker/wrapper phase) we should not change boxity in any way. Remember: an
+earlier result of the demand analyser, complete with worker/wrapper, has aleady
+given a demand signature (with boxity info) to the function.
+(The "last run" is mainly there to attach demanded-once info to let-bindings.)
+
+In general, we should not run Note [Boxity analysis] unless worker/wrapper
+follows to exploit the boxity and make sure that calling modules can observe the
+reported boxity.
+
+Hence DmdAnal is configured by a flag `dmd_do_boxity` that is True only
+if worker/wrapper follows after DmdAnal. If it is not set, and the signature
+is not subject to Note [Boxity for bottoming functions], DmdAnal tries
+to transfer over the previous boxity to the new demand signature, in
+`setIdDmdAndBoxSig`.
+
+Why isn't CprAnal configured with a similar flag? Because if we aren't going to
+do worker/wrapper we don't run CPR analysis at all. (see GHC.Core.Opt.Pipeline)
+
+It might be surprising that we only try to preserve *arg* boxity, not boxity on
+FVs. But FV demands won't make it into interface files anyway, so it's a waste
+of energy.
+Besides, W/W zaps the `DmdEnv` portion of a signature, so we don't know the old
+boxity to begin with; see Note [Zapping DmdEnv after Demand Analyzer].
