Comment (by dfeuer):
elaforge, I have an idea that feels like it provides a reasonably
consistent UI, but I'd like to see what you think.
1. Optimization flags (including `-O0`) imply `-fobject-code`. This
ensures that GHC respects optimization flags regardless of
`--interactive`.
2. Even when `-fobject-code` is on, `:load *M` will load `M` as bytecode.
This provides the "escape hatch" from `-fobject-code` that you need to use
debugging features, etc.
3. We add `-fignore-optim-changes` and `-fignore-hpc-changes`
(​Phab:D4123), enabling users to put together object code and bytecode
with diverse optimization levels and HPC info while still updating
automatically based on source changes and whether profiling is enabled.
