Looking for a recent error reporting change

[Roland Senn]

Hi Chris,
Maybe you want to look at MR 1806 (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-
/merge_requests/1806). There I touched the `check is main exported`
stuff. There is also MR !1885 for GHC 8.6.2 (https://gitlab.haskell.org
/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/1885). However this got never merged!
Regards  Roland
