 Here's Test.hs:

 {{{
 module Test where
 }}}

 And here's a ghci session:

 {{{
 % ghci Test.hs
 GHCi, version 8.4.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 *Test> Test.foo

 <interactive>:1:1: error:
     Not in scope: ‘Test.foo’
     No module named ‘Test’ is imported.
 }}}

 That "No module named ‘Test’ is imported." part seems blatantly wrong (and
 persists even if I explicitly `import Test` rather than using the implicit
 loading of the module).
