I suppose that if --make found Foo.hi, but no Foo.hs, it could simply use the Foo.hi. That would do strictly more than now. I don't know if there would be any disadvantages.
Augmenting --make's semantics sounds better to me than inventing a new compilation mode.
Sure, that sounds even better.
Maybe a feature request ticket. Then if people like it maybe someone can implement it.
Done: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9846 I have no idea how difficult this is going to be – if someone tells me it's easy, I'll have a stab at it. Thanks for your help! Cheers Lars
