-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 Given a `Main` module without a `main` value, GHC 8 reports the missing
 `main` and then exits, without bothering to typecheck the rest of the
 module. Previous versions, I believe, had the more useful behavior of
 reporting type errors regardless.
