PartialTypeSignatures warnings should be turned off with -Wno-partial-type-signatures

Foo.hs:638:18: warning: [-Wpartial-type-signatures]

The warning when using PartialTypeSignatures suggests that the warning is enabled by -Wpartial-type-signatures. However, if you try and disable this warning using -Wno-partial-type-signatures then GHC complains that it is not a recognised flag. The correct way to turn it off is to use -fno-warn-partial-signatures. It seems that for consistency the first way that I tried should also work.

Huh? I must be missing something obvious here, because I have no difficulties using the -Wno-partial-type-signatures flag:

$ ghci
GHCi, version 8.6.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loaded GHCi configuration from /home/ryanglscott/.ghci                                                                                                                                                    
λ> :set -Wno-partial-type-signatures -XPartialTypeSignatures 
λ> f :: _ -> _; f x = x

closed

Seems that I was misspelling the flag then. I can't reproduce it either.
