Include the way string in the file name for dump files.
When compiling ghc the dump files for profiled and non-profiled artefacts used to always overwrite each other. This is tragic when you need the dump for the way that has been written.
I wrote up a patch that now by default includes the way in the file names for dump files. E.g. Main.p.dump-simpl.
The only thing I'm not sure about is weither or not it should be on by default.
I lean towards yes because:
- It minimizes risk of someone looking at the "wrong" dump file without realizing.
- If someone forgets to add the flag they don't have to restart their build.
