But then loading a module from the package into GHCi would require knowing about aliases in the .cabal file.
True, it would only help providing synonyms across package boundaries (or imaginably when using `cabal repl` using some weird trick), not when trying to re-use a synonym within a package. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9642#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
