Use --make mode by default
Terribly radical suggestion, have --make mode be the default. Just think of the annual number of keystrokes saved!
It would not actually break the one-shot mode that build systems use. Proper build systems compile .hs modules using -c and they link by specifying .o files, not .hs files.
Thus we can change the meaning of things like:
ghc foo.hs -o foo
without changing the meaning of either of these:
ghc -c foo.hs
ghc foo.o -o foo
