 I have the following layout:

 {{{
  ./Foo.hs
  ./test/Bar.hs
 }}}

 both empty files.

 I can run ghci successfully as follows:

 {{{
...
ghci Foo
ghci test/Bar
ghci -itest Foo
 }}}
but

 {{{
...
ghci -itest Bar
   File name does not match module name:
     Saw: ‘Main’
     Expected: ‘Bar’
 }}}
The same problem occurs when `ghci` is replaced with `ghc`.

 Basically, ghc/ghci is forcing modules found via -i to have a named module
 in them. My understanding is that `ghci -itest Bar` is equivalent to `ghci
 test/Bar`, so the behavior should be the same as well.
