I'd like to second this.  I've been annoyed by the fact that ghc requires
extra subdirectories in order to use hierarchical modules, and would be
doubly annoyed if the language definition declared that this couldn't be
fixed.  jhc's behavior sounds nicer, but I'd rather there were the
possibility of naming our haskell files whatever we liked.  Currently, as
far as I can see, we can only do this with Main, and even then there are
weirdnesses in ghc because Main.hi gets generated.
