Adding location information is a great idea, and if is easy to put the locations in a comment I will do that. However, you might need to get involved with this to add in the features you want. Build-caching is a very interesting feature, but I think it will require GHC/cabal build experts and otherwise a lot more input to think about and implement correctly, so I will leave that for another ticket.
Yes, that was just brianstorming... :-)
The problem with `Foo.th` is that now tab completion of the filename stops at `Foo.`. Whereas with `Foo.hs.th` tab completion first stops at `Foo.hs`, which is what you want most of the time.
Maybe its different with different workflows, but I, and probably lots of developers, usually happen to have `.hi` and `.o` files around that prevent the correct completion anyways. So unless you change that to `.hs.hi` and `.hs.o` as well, for the sake of consistency, `.th` is what follows the principle of least surprise. (But note that this is bikeshedding, do not let such a discussion discourage you from implementing the feature in the first place.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8624#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
