Could we not simply drop that assumption? At least when we aren't
loading a whole package but instead are doing this "load module and its dependencies" stuff. It's a compile-time choice, so we can't do one thing for compiling a package and another when running TH. I think it's probably a big performance hit to drop this optimisation (but I don't have measurements). Basically the optimisation means that all the intra-package references can be direct, rather than going via the indirection table. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8696#comment:15 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
