Comment (by YitzGale):

 Replying to [comment:1 bgamari]:
 > I can't quite tell whether this is a general request for the runtime
 (which would apply to all GHC-compiled executables by default) or GHC in
 particular.

 You're right, I conflated the two. They're both important. And GHC is
 after all an instance of an application compiled by GHC.

 Should this be two separate tickets?
