Comment (by nomeata):

 >  But then loading a module from the package into GHCi would require
 knowing about aliases in the .cabal file.

 True, it would only help providing synonyms across package boundaries (or
 imaginably when using `cabal repl` using some weird trick), not when
 trying to re-use a synonym within a package.
