A good trick is to use NOINLINE and restricted module exports to ensure
changes in one module don't cause others to be recompiled. A common
idiom is something like.

module TypeAnalysis(typeAnalyze) where

where the module is a fairly large complicated beast, but it just has
the single entry point of typeAnalyze, by putting a 
{-# NOINLINE typeAnalyze #-} in there, you can be sure that changes to
the module don't cause other modules to be recompiled in general.
