Comment (by simonpj):

 > The reason for the existence of the ModIface is for recompilation
 checking.

 Recomopilation checking is a ''contributory'' reason.  But the `Iface`
 data type is incredibly useful as an intermediate between the serialised
 bytestring form of a `.hi` file and a fully type-checked form of the
 module `ModDetails`.  `TcIface` goes from `ModIface` to `ModDetails`.

 But yes, `ModIface` is a great intermediate form on which to base
 fingerprint generation.
