runghc always invokes `Main.main`, it doesn't pay any attention to a
 `-main-is` flag if there is one.  The right way to fix this is for
 `runghc` to invoke GHCi's `:main` command, but unfortunately then we'd
 need to pass multiple commands to `ghc -e`, because we also need to `:set
 prog`, for example.  So probably `ghc -e` should split the input
 expression into lines and execute each line as a separate
 statement/command.
