GHC accepts libraries compiled with Visual Studio?

To my surprise GHC seems to accept .lib files (produced by e.g. Visual Studio on Windows) directly; I don't need to convert these to .a files using e.g. reimp That's really cool. Is this by design or did I miss something? The manual does not seem to mention this.

I've noticed this before. I in fact have really only tried FTGL with
VC compiled lib files...
