Comment (by simonpj):
Clearly a lot of people are interested in this ticket, but I'm not clear
why:
* Writing an `hs-boot` file is very like writing a module signature in
ML; and that in turn is a bit like writing a type signature on a function.
Why is that so bad?
* At the moment I am very un-clear about the ''design'' of a viable
alternative. Lennart's recent suggestion comes closest; but does that
meet the goals of others.
Once there is a clear motivation, and a clear design, it'll become easier
to comment about how easy or difficult it is to implement.
