Hello,Should namespace designation be specified in modules or in the .cabal file? Or to put it another way should a relative namespace be specified in a Haskell module and the remaining "top" part be specified in the associated .cabal file? Of course, yes/no answers are probably not sufficient ... i.e. please elaborate.
This is my, probably incomplete, understanding of how things work.The module statement at the top of a Haskell source file should contain the complete name, e.g.
module Foo.Bar.Baz
If you use GHC directly to build (e.g. using --make) then it will look for the
module above at $x/Foo/Bar/Baz.hs, where $x is on of the paths where GHC has
been told to look (e.g. using -i).
In a Cabal file you mention the complete names of module you use/build (e.g. Foo.Bar.Baz above). Hs-Source-Dirs adds directories to the paths where GHC looks for modules ($x above).
