"For technical reasons, GHCi can only support the *-form for modules which are interpreted, so compiled modules and package modules can only contribute their exports to the current scope." But it does mean the interpreter isn't referentially transparent, which is weird for a language that puts so much stress on referential transparency.
iirc, you can use -fforce-recomp with GHCi, to make it look for sources, ignoring compiled code, if that is what you want: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/separate-compilation... claus
