Comment (by simonpj):

 The problem here is that GHC *is* itself a GHC-compiled Haskell program,
 and so if you want to (say) change the heap size in which GHC itself runs,
 then the `+RTS` thing is the right thing to do.  Generating a warning
 seems odd.  And I think it'd be tricky, becuase the +RTS stuff is
 intercepted by the runtime system before the Haskell program ever gets to
 see it.

 I can see the problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it!

 Simon
