Comment(by simonmar):
GHC already has such a flag, `-x`. See section 4.4.3.1:
[http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.2/html/users_guide/modes.html
#options-order],
Maybe you'd like us to simplify the heuristics, perhaps removing the
option to omit the `.hs` or `.lhs` suffix for a source file (your example
1 above). I wouldn't strongly object to that, if there was general
support for it, though I suspect it might offend some people who are used
to the shortcut `ghc --make hello`. I certainly use that myself quite a
lot, and in 6.14 it will get even simpler, as `--make` is now the default.
