 See https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hpc-0.6.0.2/docs/src/Trace-Hpc-
 Mix.html#readMix

 The generic `error $ "can not find " ++ modName ++ " in " ++ show
 dirNames` error message is used for all kinds of cases, for example when
 `h == tixModuleHash tix` isn't true.

 It would be very helpful if the error message could be specific for these
 cases (e.g. "hashes don't agree") instead of being a catch-all for all
 `Nothing`s.
