Fastest way to reload module with GHC API

[JP Moresmau]

When I do that (only adding the target once and just doing load after the
file has changed) the changes in the file are not taken into account
(getNamesInScope for example doesn't give me the name of a type added
inside the file). I probably have my stupid hat on (friday afternoon...),
but when I do remove/load in between it works...

Thanks
