The silence is deafening :-) I think what you're describing seems to be so completely different from Haskell as it is now that that people either don't understand it, or they do understand it and do think it's downright silly, but are just too polite to say that. Maybe you should try writing it up in a more comprehensible form on a Haskell wiki page. I would say that I get worried when people talk about "module initialisation" and/or (potentially) side effecting imports. I'm not sure if this is a problem with what you're proposing, but I think it's important that we don't get into a situation where the mere presence or absence of some definition in a module can influence program behaviour, even if it isn't referenced by main somehow.
