There's no really deep reason for this choice, other than it being what GHC does normally - i.e. the default binary has always been a.out (main.exe on Windows) unless -o is given.

I don't see enough of a compelling reason to change it, sorry. It's not broken, just slightly inconvenient.

It wasn't meant to be a bug report, only a feature request ;-) Actually, I was mostly interested if anyone would mind if GHC chose the name based on the top-level module. Would you accept the patch? Best regards Tomasz
