 Consider

 {{{
 main :: IO Int
 main = return 1
 }}}

 This does different things when compiled and when run with
 `runghc`/`runhaskell` (it prints an extra `1` with the latter).

 For practical purposes, I think it is beneficial if either of the two ways
 to run a Haskell program have the same output.

 Or did somebody intend this to happen?
