Comment (by harendra):
I find it rather unintuitive to embed the ghc flags between the program
name and the program flags. It is simpler to say and understand:
{{{
runghc [flags] [filename [program args]]
}}}
ghc options becomes just one of the flags which is easier to understand
(IMO). I agree that using one "--ghc-options" for all ghc flags is more
convenient. If that is acceptable, I can try to find existing code to be
able to do that (i.e. handle the escaping).
I am fine with the proposal process but I won't be able to drive that
myself, though I can contribute to it.
