Terribly radical suggestion, have --make mode be the default. Just think
of the annual number of keystrokes saved!
It would not actually break the one-shot mode that build systems use.
Proper build systems compile .hs modules using -c and they link by
specifying .o files, not .hs files.
Thus we can change the meaning of things like:
{{{
ghc foo.hs -o foo
}}}
without changing the meaning of either of these:
{{{
ghc -c foo.hs
ghc foo.o -o foo
}}}
