Comment(by dterei):

 This is something we have discussed previously and worth visiting again in
 the future. One issue is that you may have a module that is safe in that
 it doesn't break the types but you don't want untrusted code to be able to
 import it as it exposes symbols they shouldn't access. This could be fixed
 though by having a UNSAFE pragma that explicitly marks a module as unsafe.

 For now the current design will stay for GHC 7.2 but after we get some
 feed back from users your suggestion may defiantly be the way to go.
