Description

In #193 we hid these so as not to annoy anyone. We should track them down and see if we cannot avoid them outright, and if not, why that is.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine pull request #193 to understand how the hints were hidden. Investigate the CPS transformation code to identify where conversion to self hints originate and determine if they can be prevented at the source. Trace the code path that generates these hints and explore alternatives.
