Comment(by mcandre):

 Can someone give a correct use of the -main-is flag?

 {{{
 $ cat scriptedmain.hs
 #!/usr/bin/env runhaskell
 module ScriptedMain where

 meaningOfLife :: Int
 meaningOfLife = 42

 main :: IO ()
 main = putStrLn $ "Main: The meaning of life is " ++ show meaningOfLife
 $ ghc -o scriptedmain -main-is ScriptedMain.main scriptedmain.hs
 compilation IS NOT required
