This is a very minor "issue", but I've been wondering if there's a rationale behind ghc --make pretty much printing the same thing thrice. Say you're building Cabal, you'll see (line wrapped for email): [ 1 of 75] Compiling Distribution.Compat.CreatePipe ( Distribution/Compat/CreatePipe.hs, Distribution/Compat/CreatePipe.o ) So, why not print [ 1 of 75] Compiling Distribution.Compat.CreatePipe instead? I'm assuming there's a good reason for the current behavior, but if there's none, are there any objections to changing what's printed? Of course, the old behavior could be re-enabled via -v.
