Comment(by duncan):
Have we looked into whether we can avoid exporting so many symbols by
hiding all package-internal symbols. My intuition is that there must be
lots of them that are only needed for intra-package linkage and are not
needed in the external interface. The only symbols that should need to be
external are the ones for things accessable via the .hi files of the
exposed modules. Though if basically every module is exposed then that
would not help much.
