The problem we often have is that when you're writing code for a library that lives deep in the module hierarchy, you end up needing a deep directory structure, where the top few layers are all empty.
I don't see how this is a problem at all. Navigating the "vacuous" structure is as simple as pressing the tab key a few times. But if you change the mapping convention between files and module names, you need to do it for all tools, not just the compiler. I imagine all of the following tools would need to know about it: cabal, hoogle, haddock, happy, alex, hat, hsc2hs and probably a few more. The feature seems like a very low power-to-weight ratio, so -1 from me. Regards, Malcolm
