Comment:
This is by design, in fact. GHCi has the restriction that object code
cannot be linked to byte-code, so it doesn't make sense to annotate an
individual modules with `-fbyte-code`, because it would force all modules
that depend on it to also be loaded with `-fbyte-code` (and could conflict
with other `-fobject-code` annotations). I think the choice of byte-code
/object-code doesn't belong in the source code. But you're right that
there ought to be a way to say "I want to load module M as byte code, and
whatever depends on it", so I'm changing this to a feature request.
Current workaround is to load the whole of the program with `-fobject-
code`, then switch to `-fbyte-code`, touch a source file (or remove the
object file) and `:reload`.
