Is that to resolve cyclic module dependencies al la GHC, or for some
other reason?
Partially, yes, to resolve cyclic dependancies, but thats not required
for the Prelude etc - only in user code.
The other reason is that some files, PreludeBuiltin, exist only as .hi
files - defining things like (->). I tried to break this dependance at
some point, but failed miserably - I never could figure out how name
resolution worked, and therefore bootstrap it with the required names.
Thanks
