#11247: Weird error from running runghc on an invalid input filename

-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
I had files `random.hs` and `random.hi` and `random.o`, so I accidentally
entered the following command with tab completion.
{{{
rwbarton at morphism:/tmp$ runghc random.
Warning: ignoring unrecognised input `random.'
random.:1:33:
Not in scope: ‘main’
Perhaps you meant ‘min’ (imported from Prelude)
}}}
#7765 is surely related, but with HEAD (well, rather old, but at least new
enough to contain the fix for #7765), the error is not really any better:
{{{
rwbarton at morphism:/tmp$ ~/ghc/inplace/bin/runghc random.
Warning: ignoring unrecognised input `random.'
random.:0:53: error:
Variable not in scope: main :: IO a0
Perhaps you meant ‘min’ (imported from Prelude)
}}}
