In the new GHCi system we plan to make it *required* that the module name and the file name match, EXCEPT for module Main. This seems to remove a whole class of errors.

Things | that are easily seen exported from A.hs - strange that I was wondering | again what's going on. | | GHC should warn when a module imports itself. Or warn about mismatches | between the module and file name except Main. Or whatever - | the current | error message is not very helpful. | | -- | __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ | \__/ | ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTEPCZA | QRCZAK | |
