Comment (by nomeata):
Just giving a bit more context: The report specifies in
https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch5.html#x11-990005.1
that
> An abbreviated form of module, consisting only of the module body, is
permitted. If this is used, the header is assumed to be `module Main(main)
where`.
One could argue that the `-main-is`’s intention is to change *all* aspects
of `Main.main`, i.e. not only the entry point, but also the default module
header.
