Something that I think would be very convenient, help alleviate some of
the problems discussed, and still very easy to implement, would be
support for setting run-time

Folks,
There is some disagreement over how the GC options should be specified
for Haskell programs. I've identified a couple of issues below,
comments and opinions are greatly appreciated. If there's a concensus
that things should be changed, then I'll make the changes for the next
release.
