Comment:
I realized the reason is that we never test names defined at top level for
shadowing (shadowing names imported from other modules).
So the plan is this. Add a flag `-Wtop-level-name-shadowing` that checks
top-level bindings for shadowing (like defining `id`). Then make it
default in the ghci interactive flags (only). (No, I do not suggest making
it part of `-Wall`.)
Validating that currently, then will post on Phab.
