Comment:

 I also agree that the previous behavior is preferable.  Unfortunately, it
 appears that the change was caused by the fix for #11256.  One possibility
 is to restore the eager reporting of missing imports only when using GHCi.
 Or with a little more work, only when the source file which is importing
 the missing module hasn't changed since the last load/reload.  Thoughts?
