Comment (by simonpj):
Wait. If you say `-hide-all-packages` then there are no packages in scope,
so how can there be any conflict?
Perhaps you mean to propose this:
* If you have an explicit `-package p` flag
* And a home-package module whose name conflicts with one exposed by `p`
* Then at least warn of the conflict
Was that what you meant? That would not imply any discrepancies, would
it?
