Comment(by simonmar):

 I'd just like to point out that we've gone over most of this ground at
 least once before, and there's a proposed set of changes here:
 http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3217#comment:15.  I still stand
 by that proposal, it addresses all the issues raised above.

 The only possible downside is that you would no longer be able to say
 `:module *A *B` (i.e. have multiple modules "fully open" at the prompt),
 but I doubt anyone really needs to do this.
