Sorry, I meant that I used targetAllowObjCode=True for everything,
except the file under inspection. Do you mean that if I used
targetAllowObjCode=False for just one module it will invalidate the
object code for everything it depends on? That is unexpected.

How would you suggest rethinking it? Bare in mind that the api is
working exactly the way I want from a functional point of view (just
slow) with HscNothing... and seems to work exactly the way I want with
HscInterpreted (but with all the ghci caveats like unboxed tuples etc).
