------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
GHC provides several shell commands: {{{ghc}}}, {{{ghci}}}, {{{ghc-pkg}}},
{{{runghc}}}, {{{runhaskell}}}, and possibly others.
The {{{ghc}}}, {{{ghci}}} and {{{ghc-pkg}}} also have "versioned"
forms—for instance, I also have available {{{ghc-7.0.3}}} and
{{{ghc-7.4.1}}}.
However, {{{runghc}}} does not. This means I have no easy option when
requiring a specific GHC version to run a Haskell file. This also means
an executable Haskell file cannot easily express a dependency on a
specific version of GHC, which may be useful in some cases.
Having to type {{{runghc -f `which ghc-7.0.3`}}} is tedious overhead when
doing this many times in a day. Furthermore, this does not appear to work
at all with a shebang'd file.
