It's actually to catch cases where you have two different source files,
say foo.hs and bar.hs, both of which define the same module. In GHCi
you can load both of these together:
Prelude> :l foo.hs bar.hs
Compiling Foo ( bar.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Foo.
*Foo>
which is quite confusing behaviour, so now we emit an error in this
case. Hugs also gives an error:
Reading file "foo.hs":
Reading file "bar.hs":
Parsing
ERROR bar.hs - Module "Foo" already loaded
Foo>
