Comment:

 I am quite interested in extending Haskell import lists to be more like ML
 signatures (don't worry, no ML functors, I promise!).  With such an
 explicit signature, I hope it would be possible to eliminate the hs-boot
 file.  Or as a further step, one could compile signatures separately, then
 use them instead of .hs-boot.   Also, I think Derek Dreyer could be
 persuaded to have a look at this problem.
