Is the manual annotation is because deciding whether or not a graph will blow up upon supercompilation by trying, but checking for blowup during the process, doesn't work?

Are there any other notable differences between this approach and call-by-value constructors? (I guess one might have to carry around the original context in closures for a little while, but presumably even that disappears in residual programs?)

[Stepan Razin lost his black hat during his ride, but the supercompiler has already removed Ivan Mazepa's?]
