So?  That just means that the file name of Program1.hs,
Program2.hs, etc will be different from the name of the
module that they contain.  I think all Haskell systems allow
the Main module to be in a file whose name differs from the
module name (in contrast to other modules, which need to be
found when chasing imports).
