GHCi silently fails to import non-existing modules
E.g.:
$ ghci
GHCi, version 7.4.0.20120126: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> import Non.Existing.Module
Prelude> :show imports
import Prelude -- implicit
import Non.Existing.Module
Prelude> :m
Prelude> :show imports
import Prelude -- implicit
Prelude> whereas in GHC 7.2.2, it behaved like:
GHCi, version 7.2.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Loading package ffi-1.0 ... linking ... done.
Prelude> import Non.Existing.Module
<no location info>:
Could not find module `Non.Existing.Module'
