Comment (by GregWeber):
Thanks for the pointer to `-ddump-minimal-imports`
Adding location information is a great idea, and if is easy to put the
locations in a comment I will do that. However, you might need to get
involved with this to add in the features you want. Build-caching is a
very interesting feature, but I think it will require GHC/cabal build
experts and otherwise a lot more input to think about and implement
correctly, so I will leave that for another ticket.
The problem with `Foo.th` is that now tab completion of the filename stops
at `Foo.`. Whereas with `Foo.hs.th` tab completion first stops at
`Foo.hs`, which is what you want most of the time. Also, `.hs.th` together
makes for a more unique file extension. If this feature is extended to
build caching there will probably be a desire to change how the extensions
work. This will actually be a good thing since it will avoid the need to
think about backwards compatible files.
