Error reporting on obsolete file

I have just had this warning:

Whatever.hs:41:1: warning: [-Wunused-imports]
    The import of ‘Data.Map’ is redundant
      except perhaps to import instances from ‘Data.Map’
    To import instances alone, use: import Data.Map()
   |
41 | import Data.Foldable
   | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This happens because the source file has been modified during the compilation: GHC shows an excerpt of the new file to report an error in the old file. Could we cache the old file somehow during the compilation to avoid this discrepancy?
