Dunno about security implications (ignoring potential interactions with Safe Haskell) but it sounds like a code organization wart to me. Having to dig through source files to find variant import paths sounds like a nightmare for trying to understand a codebase.

I'd like to update the search path of a Haskell module, using the OPTIONS_GHC pragma.
From the documentation[0], OPTIONS_GHC allows you to set dynamic flags, which `-i` appears to be.[1]
Here's a quick demo of what I believe _should_ work, but doesn't:
A.hs:
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -isrc #-}
import B
main = print b
src/B.hs:
module B where
b = "!"
`ghc A.hs` fails, but (of course) `ghc -isrc A.hs` succeeds. Is there a way to get this to work? Is the current behavior intended? Is what I want a misfeature? (E.g. there are security implications?)
Thanks, Tom
