Comment (by Miloan):

 Just like @FPtje, I have experienced this problem. For me it is counter-
 intuitive to have to compile the code from the root folder. Maybe this
 origins from my experience with other compilers. While I do agree that GHC
 is not your average compiler, it would not hurt to conform to some
 standards.

 The proposed solution is exactly how I imagined the compiler worked when I
 started programming Haskell. That's why I believe it would be a great
 addition to GHC.
