I have a Haskell script called "notify", without a .hs extension, which causes some problems. (I'm using ghc 6.8.3.)
First attempt: runhaskell notify Without the .hs extension, ghc doesn't know it's a Haskell script, and so I get "Could not find module `notify'". Maybe runhaskell should automatically add "-x hs" to the ghc command?
The 6.9 branch version of runghc does that, actually. (runhaskell is probably a symlink to runghc.)
Second attempt: runhaskell -x hs notify
There's an undocumented runghc flag which I found by looking at the source code, --ghc-arg, that can be used for this. runghc -x --ghc-arg=hs notify should work. runghc's handling of "--" is a little odd; it does stop parsing ghc args when "--" is encountered, but it also stops at the first option that doesn't start with a hyphen, even if a "--" follows later.
