------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
I'm just learning haskell and I mistakenly passed the -o argument to ghc
instead of -c. When combined with the -i argument (which I also
mistakenly supplied, thinking of ghci), this unlinks the file named by -o.
This is certainly a case of PEBKAC, but ghc should probably do something
other than unlinking the file.
