Comment (by simonpj):

 I thought that we allowed the module name not to match the file name
 precisely (and only) when the module was called `Main`.  That would
 collapse your first and third bullets which is what you wanted.

 Also I suggest that plain `M` (no suffix) on the command line should fail
 altogether if you can't find `M.hs` or `M.lhs`, regardless of whether you
 are linking or not.  And plain `m` (lower case) should fail too, since `m`
 can't be a module name.   Stuff you want to link should have suffix `.o`
 or `.a`, shouldn't it?

 Simon
