I'm confused: it sounds like you saying that only HscInterpreted can
load symbols of dependencies from object code. Then how does cabal+ghc
do this when I make a change to one file in my project and do a
recompile of the package?

BTW, I am seeing modules going through CodeGen that are not part of the
file's dependency graph... LoadUpTo is behaving more like LoadAll.
