From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   fusion
  
      A {program transformation} where a {composition}
      of two functions is replaced by in-lining them and combining
      their bodies.   E.g.
  
      f x = g (h x) ==> f x = g (2 * x)
      g x = x + 1 f x = 2 * x + 1
      h x = 2 * x
  
      This has the beneficial effect of reducing the number of
      function calls.   It can be especially useful where the
      intermediate result is a large data structure which can be
      eliminated.
  
      See also {vertical loop combination}.
